[edit] Feeding

Regarding the sentence "They eat small animals; a study in Brazil found frogs, mammals, lizards, snakes, centipedes, and birds, in decreasing order.": The mentioned study in Brazil shurely does not refer to Bothrops asper, as this species does not occur in Brazil (see range). The sentence should be deleted. Greetings,-Accipiter2 22:58, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Right you are! I should have caught that earlier. I'm not familiar with the reference, but I wouldn't be surprised if the contributor is guilty of confusing this species with B. atrox. --Jwinius 23:31, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
