Like most snakes the coral snake is an ambush predator. Since reptiles generally do not have the stamina to pursue prey, they must catch it by surprise. The coral snake is highly venomous, and this is employed in hunting. The snake will sneak up on its prey and deliver a quick bite. The venom soon kills they prey animal, allowing the snake to eat it without a struggle.
