The water moccasin, also known as the cottonmouth (Agkistrodon piscivorus), is a venomous snake native to the southeastern United States, recognized for its aggressive nature and distinctive appearance. Often found in aquatic environments like swamps, rivers, and lakes, the water moccasin is an important species in its ecosystem, playing a role in controlling populations of fish, amphibians, and small mammals. Also referred to as the swamp moccasin, this species has a thick, muscular body and a large, triangular head. It is named after the cotton-white coloration inside its mouth, which it displays as a defensive threat when feeling cornered or threatened. Water moccasins are known for their semi-aquatic lifestyle, often seen resting on banks or swimming gracefully through water. These snakes are capable of both terrestrial and aquatic movement, making them highly adaptable to their environments. The water moccasin's venom is cytotoxic, capable of causing significant tissue damage, and it is typically used for immobilizing prey. The snake is also known for its ability to warn potential threats by opening its mouth and showing its white interior. Its natural range extends from Texas to Florida and as far north as Illinois, where it is often spotted in warm, wet habitats. Though dangerous to humans, water moccasins generally avoid direct encounters, only becoming aggressive when provoked. Other common names for this species include the black moccasin and the water pit viper. This snake's presence is a reminder of the rich biodiversity of freshwater ecosystems, where it remains a vital predator in its natural habitat.
