Wow! I was totally shocked once I realized what I'm looking at. Fantastic moment! (not for the toad). Posted 8 years ago

  It can be heartbreaking when the snake catches the frog by the leg and it will struggle for a good long time, trying to keep out of the water, and making sounds that I can only think of as cries... But with this one it happened super fast. The snake got a good grip and in less than a minute had swallowed it whole. Posted 8 years ago, modified 8 years ago

    I hear you, I definitely cannot watch something struggle for life, better for it to be over as soon as possible. Posted 8 years ago

The Viperine water snake

"Natrix maura" is a natricine water snake of the genus "Natrix". Its common name is viperine water snake or viperine snake. Despite its common names, it is not a member of the subfamily Viperinae. This nonvenomous, semiaquatic, fish-eating snake was given its common names due to behavioural and aesthetic similarities with sympatric adder species.
