Food Chain Drama | Our Mississippi Home

SUMMARY: Naturalist Sharon Milligan witnessed a dramatic encounter at a pond where a Banded Water Snake captured a Two-toed Amphiuma by its tail. Knowing the snake’s determination, the outcome was clear: the amphiuma would soon be swallowed whole despite its ability to deliver a painful bite. Water snakes are equipped with flexible jaws to consume large prey. This encounter highlighted the amphiuma’s rarity, as they are nocturnal and primarily inhabit burrows. Both species sit at the top of their local aquatic food chains, with water snakes able to tackle larger prey than the amphibians. Sharon’s documentation enriches understanding of these creatures.
