Cottonmouth research focuses on the habits, behavior, and biology of the species Agkistrodon piscivorus, commonly known as the cottonmouth or water moccasin. This venomous snake is native to the southeastern United States and is known for its distinctively cotton-white mouth, aggressive nature, and aquatic habitat preferences. Research in this area often includes studies on feeding habits, venom composition, reproduction, population dynamics, and interactions with other species. Understanding the ecology and behavior of cottonmouths is important for conservation efforts and for minimizing human-snake interactions in areas where they are commonly found.
