These large pit vipers live near swamps, lakes, rivers, and shallow pools. This is the reason they are also called water moccasins. Cottonmouths open their white, cotton-colored mouths whenever they wish to frighten enemies. Students will learn about this fish-eating snake's senses and how it locates prey or predators with them. They will also learn about the cottonmouth's hemotoxic venom, which is used to make antivenin for treating snakebites.Feldman, Heather is the author of 'Cottonmouths' with ISBN 9780823967223 and ISBN 0823967220.
