Once when I was six years old,I saw a magnificent picture in a book, called true stories from nature ,about the primeval forest.

It’s a picture of a boa constrictor in the act of swallowing an animal. Here is copy of the drawing.
In the book it said : " Boa constrictors swallow their prey whole, without chewing it .
After that they are not able to move ,and they sleep through the six months that they need for digestion."
