Cottonmouth snake begins wrestling with swamp
Most people would be surprised if you told them that there were two huge snakes standing next to each other in a swamp. Buddy Rogers headed for them.
While working on a farm in eastern North Carolina last year, Buddy’s friend David Pearce noticed chaos in the canal and called him to look. In the water, there are 2 giant estuaries that extend up into the sky. Their bodies intertwined and crashed into the swamp. These epomo snakes This is a venomous snake that is common in the southeastern United States. Flirt with each other in spray as Buddy starts taking pictures.

What Buddy and David see is a rare Ьeһаⱱіoᴜг. Although it took zoologists some time to figure out why some snakes are like this. But it is now generally accepted that men are not made for hut or kiɩɩ each other. but to establish occupancy rights and mate with nearby females. Then David noticed a third serpent quietly rumbling from the shore. which is likely the female that the snake is holding
Fights between venomous snakes often involve two snakes swaying before one hooks the other’s neck and lands on the ground. Sometimes they intertwined as they beckoned to each other and tried to gain an advantage over their orppets. Finally, the winner was declared as one of the snakes hurriedly retreated. This is what Buddy and David saw.

These can last up to a few hours. And while we don’t know how long Cottonmouth lasted before Pierce saw them, The two friends watched the snake slither toward the snake for about seven minutes. At that point, the lighter color swims away in surrender.
many years ago Some serpents have decided to call this Ьeһаⱱіoᴜг mating dance. This might help explain why so many people today believe that snakes are actually male and female in love. Courtship and mating are generally more peaceful experiences, however. The snake rarely raises its body repeatedly into the air. just like they did during the battle.
Buddy knows he’s having an amazing time with his camera. But he was still thrilled with the reaction his pictures showed up when he shared them on Facebook. His album now has over 13,000 shares!
Often when talking about snakes Commenters were quick to share suspicious information. Some say these animals are mating. Or not even the mouth at all Sadly, out of the 2,000 (and counting!) comments posted, Buddy says that the most common comments come from people wanting to know why they dislike snakes. Some even condemned him for not doing so.
