The New York Times highlighted a discovery by a University of Cincinnati biologist that a harmless little African snake can eat the biggest prey relative to its size of any known snake. UC Professor Bruce Jayne has spent years studying the extreme limits of snake abilities in his lab in UC's College of Arts and Sciences.

His latest discovery revealed that the champion eater among snakes appears to be a drab little nonvenomous species, Dasypeltis gansi, or the Gans' egg-eater.
