What habitat do moccasins live?

Moccasins, specifically referring to water moccasins or cottonmouths, primarily inhabit wetlands, swamps, and marshy areas, often near slow-moving or stagnant bodies of water like rivers, lakes, and ponds. They are also found in forests and sometimes in upland areas during certain seasons. These snakes prefer environments with ample cover, such as dense vegetation, where they can hunt and hide from predators.
