    Essay On Water Moccasins

    • 4 Pages

    Water Moccasins are primarily active at night, but they bask in the sun during the day. Because they spend much of their time in water, and water draws away heat more quickly than air, they must somehow maintain a high body temperature, particularly for their digestive metabolism.

They inhabit brackish waters and are commonly found in swamps, streams, marshes, and drainage ditches in the southern lowlands of the United States. They also live at the edges of lakes, ponds, and slow-moving streams and waters.…

Griffiths et al. conducted length-frequency analysis of the Zebra mussel population, before 1988 (prediscovery) and between…
