Cottonmouth

By Karlie Gambino

Book Overview

The cottonmouth, also known as the water moccasin, is the only venomous water snake in North America. When alarmed, the cottonmouth hisses and shows the cotton-white color inside its mouth. That's enough to scare even the most ferocious predators away. Close-up photographs of cottonmouths in the wild give readers the opportunity to learn all about these deadly creatures--from their lethal venom to their natural hunting abilities.
