The term "Water Snake" typically refers to various species of snakes that are adapted to aquatic environments. These snakes can be found in freshwater habitats like rivers, lakes, and swamps. They are known for their ability to swim efficiently and often have flattened bodies, which help them navigate through water. Some common examples include the Northern Water Snake and the Eastern Water Snake. Water snakes primarily feed on fish, amphibians, and other small aquatic animals. They are non-venomous and rely on constriction to subdue their prey. While they may be mistaken for venomous species, such as Water Moccasins, water snakes are generally harmless to humans and play an important role in their ecosystems.
