10、magnificent picture in a book,called True Stories from Nature,about the primeval forest.It was a picture of a boa constrictor in the act of swallowing an animal.Here is a copy of the drawing.2 In the book it said:“Boa constrictors swallow their prey whole,without chewing it.After that they are not a
