What is a clam snake?

A clam snake is a type of snake belonging to the genus Eunectes, primarily found in South America. It is known for its unique adaptation of a flattened body, which allows it to navigate through murky waters and wetlands where it primarily resides. Clam snakes are non-venomous and primarily feed on aquatic prey, often using their strong swimming abilities to capture fish and amphibians. Their distinctive appearance and behavior make them an interesting subject for herpetologists and nature enthusiasts alike.
