COTTONMOUTHS

Cottonmouths are also called Water Moccasins.  They live on swamps, along rivers, and streams. They eat frogs, fish, and tadpoles. They spend a lot of time in the water. Did you know... a cottonmouth swims with its head and neck above the water. Snakes can climb trees. Did you know that? When it opens its mouth you see a cotton color. That is how it got it's name. Maybe I'll study cottonmouths when I grow up.
