The Laughing Falcon, Herpetotheres cachinnans, also called the Snake Hawk, is a medium-sized bird of prey in the falcon family, the only member of the genus Herpetotheres. It is a specialist snake-eater.

Diet

Almost entirely reptiles; mainly snakes,including venomous coral snakes, but also lizards. Centipedes and small rodents are occasionally taken.
