Hunting And Fishing North Shore
Can you describe how a cottonmouth snake captures a fish?
I’ve lived on a creek in coastal North Carolina for 5 years and have seen four instances of a cottonmouth swimming in the stream with a fish in its mouth. In every instance, the snake went to shore to position the fish to be swallowed head first. However, I’ve not seen the snake actually capture its prey. Is the snake in or under water when it captures the fish? Or does it strike from a log or branch? In the instances which I’ve seen, I’ve first noticed the snake and fish 30 feet or more from shore, which suggests that the snake was in the water when the fish happened by. However, hunting the shoreline would seem to be more productive.
Here is a great article that describes how Cottonmouths hunt.
Yes they are underwater when they catch their prey.
They prefer hunting in shallow pools where they fish may be trapped.
It says that they will submerge their head in shallow water but also dig in the mud to get tadpoles.
