Nature Is Metal
Snagged It 📽 by @jakewalsh2 Shots like this one are hard to get, you can probably guess why that is by the shot itself. However, this behaviour is quite common for northern water snakes, who are known to actively hunt fish. These are non-venomous snakes, which IMO make them even more badass - I mean that in general - a non-venomous snake has to put in more work to get fed than a venomous one. It's the difference between having to fight tooth and nail to wear down and subdue something to eat OR walking up and injecting your target with a syringe and then laying back and waiting for it to take effect before acting. One of these things is not like the other, with the added bonus of nV snakes being relatively harmless to humans in comparison. Obviously we are not talking anacondas, but the little ones in your garden. Anyway, back to the northern water snake. To detect prey underwater, they use the same Jacobson's organ that they would use on land, only this chemosensory tool doesn’t work as well underwater because of the current. However, when paired with the snakes vision and ability to detect vibrations in the water, these snakes are quite efficient at locating and capturing what one might presume to be safe from the glare of the predatory serpent - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Nature Is Metal is powered by you!

We've all been there, having a nice meal with good company and you realise you have a bit of fish stuck between your teeth.
