Western Cottonmouth
- Resides mainly in Southeastern United States and is never far from water
- average length is about three feet though five feet has been recorded
- Pit viper
- One of their unique behaviors is their ability to “stand their ground.” When thoroughly aroused, a cottonmouth coils its body and threatens the intruder with its mouth wide open and its fangs exposed, showing the white lining of its mouth (thus its common name, the cottonmouth)
- Three subspecies: Eastern, Florida, and Western
