		Non-depolarizing neuromuscular block : Paralysis caused by neurotoxins that occupy acetylcholine receptor sites on the post-synaptic membrane and prevent the normal acetylcholine induced membrane depolarization.
		Ophiophagy : The eating of snakes, any organism that habitually includes snake in its diet is 'ophiophagous'.
		Many reptiles, and even large anurans, will feed upon snakes if given the opportunity but certain snakes themselves have a preference for snakes over other prey and will even devour their own kind.

		There are also several food sources which have caused the development of specialized feeding behaviors, such as:
		Ophiophagy: feeding on snakes; Hematophagy: feeding on blood; Coprophagy: feeding on faeces; Cannibalism: feeding on members of the same species; Trophallaxis: regurgitation of food to another animal; Etc.;
		In many instances, the specialization of organisms in a specific type of food source has been one of the major causes of evolution of form and function, such as:
