A juvenile Northern Cottonmouth (Agkistrodon piscivorus) cools off in the water near a culvert at the Robinson Maneuver Training Center in North Little Rock, Ark., on March 31.
The Northern Cottonmouth is a venomous species. Adults average 24 - 36 inches in length and are grouped into the pit viper family of snakes. Cottonmouths tend to live in a variety of wetland areas such as swamps, streams, and drainage ditches. The Cottonmouth snake gets its name from the defense position the snake takes when it feels threatened. When antagonized, the Cottonmouth will coil up and display its fangs, revealing the pale white skin inside of the mouth.
