In addition to ambushing rodents, birds and lizards, sometimes the Cuban Boa sniper snakes up into the air to catch Jamaican bats. They do this by curling into small holes on the roof or cave walls where bats live. Watching at the right time, the snakes attacked the bat as they flew by.

Researcher Vladimir Dinets, of the University of Tennessee-Knoxville, observed to see if this snake was organized to increase the chances of successful hunting.

Dinets found that, when many snakes hunt at the same time, they not only select random niches but coordinate positions to create a dangerous area for bats. Therefore, they are organized, and when working in groups, snakes will be more likely to turn floods into meals for themselves.
