Movie 1.

Lateral and ventral video recordings are shown of a recently fed Boa constrictor as it moves across the experimental apparatus preforming rectilinear locomotion, including within the region containing a large prey bolus. Two sets of tape markers are visible and were used to quantify the kinematic variables.
