Yes, studies have proven that rattlesnakes, cottonmouths and copperheads are capable of biting and injecting venom underwater- they have to in order to catch food. All snakes can swim.

Fact is that Corn snakes are very tame, sweet and friendly. But when I said rare I mean: it always can happen but the possibility is 1 in 1.000.000. It's good to know that there is that possibility so you are prepared that there is no danger and the disinfection off the possible wound is enough. I work with snakes for 10 years now. I had a big Boa constrictor and several other snakes. In those ten years I never have been bitten. I give you an example how a friendly snake could bite you.

Yes! Just as a person can swim and open the mouth to make noise underwater, a snake can go down, close its rear jaw muscles, open its mouth quite large.....and bite effectively! All this without taking on water or drowning. Some snakes feed by capturing their food underwater with a swift strike and a gaping, tooth-filled mouth! There have been incidents with water moccasins where a bite occurred at 25 feet or more under the surface during a scuba outing.

the owner of a snake you must realize that your boa does not bite out of meanness or aggression, but instead out of mistaken identity or fear. Mistaken Identity: In this case, your hand's smell or movement (or both) is mistaken by the snake to be the smell or movement of prey. This is most likely to occur around the snakes usual feeding time or after you have been handling its meal.

Penguins have good vision both above and below the water. This is due to their ability to alter the shape of the lens of the eye to accommodate both environments. Check out the Anatomy Page for more information.

We are in the woods, in the mountains. There is every type of wildlife, including snakes. The poisonous variety includes rattlesnakes and copper heads. Caution should be used when walking through the woods especially in high grass and underbrush. Be careful which lifting rocks or logs as snakes hide under them. Make noise when walking through the woods to give snakes a warning that you are coming. They are as afraid of you as you may be of them.

Female mosquitoes need protein for the development of their eggs, and they get it from the blood of animal and human hosts. Male mosquitoes do not bite, nor do mosquitoes actually '"feed" on blood. The nectar of flowers actually provides sugar to power mosquitoes' flight muscles.

People and animals are not the primary target for mosquitoes, especially in temperate climates. The major mosquito pests in the southeastern U.S., for example, seem to prefer the host-odor of small herbivorous (vegetarian) mammals, or birds. Even mosquitoes that carry encephalitis seem to prefer avian (bird) hosts. These mosquitoes bite people when they get the chance, but they are better at tracking the scent of animals that are most abundant in their habitat.

Giant African Land Snails do not have teeth. Instead, they have a rough tongue called a radula, which has special ridges on it so the snails rasp their food rather than chewing or biting it. You can feel a snail rasping you. It is slightly rough, tickly sensation, not unlike the feeling of a cat licking you. It can't do you any harm. Some species (possibly Achatina iredalei) have sharper radulas than others. Snails seem to rasp most surfaces they come across. This appears to see what is edible.

Yes, all the time. It's a natural reaction when we are afraid or angry. Then we'll bite hard. 'Coons also nip in play or in warning that we are getting angry.

R/C submarines are like R/C airplanes in many respects. One of them is, that you don't drive your sub where you can't see it. Responsible R/C pilots never fly their planes into the clouds... Therefore, if the water in your pond is cloudy, you keep the boat at periscope depth and you keep it close to you. If you're lucky enough to run where the water is clear, then you can operate your model deeper.

Yes. The undeads can even stay underwater for as long as they want to, though all other races must breath from time to time. Potions or spells may be used to help with breathing underwater as well.
