From Martin Elliott

The laughing falcon is a striking tropical raptor known for its distinct call that sounds like human laughter.

Snake Specialist: Up to 90% of their diet consists of snakes, including dangerous pit vipers and coral snakes.

Ambush Technique: They hunt by waiting patiently on a high perch, then dive-bombing straight onto the snake’s head with a powerful thud.

Precise Kill: They grab the snake right behind the head with their beak and bite it off immediately. - in Pantanal, Mato Grosso, Brazil.
