  • such an amazing video. loved the article in scientific american!!!!!

  • Smart snakes! The strike speed is unbelievable.

  • Nice video - I like the way the snake bumps the water with the coil of its body so the fish reacts (lateral line) directly towards the snakes mouth...

  • The speed is incredible. Think about it. The snake can move that fast in a medium that is 800 times more dense than air...just amazing.

  • Very awesome! I had no clue that a tentacled snake had such an advanced feed technique. Thanks for sharing, Ashton.

  • I love these snakes and own a couple of them. I work at HHMI Janelia Farm Research Campus and was talking to some people there regarding bringing them in to put under a high speed camera. I love your research and I love these guys. Thanks for posting this.

  • funny to see how the snake "scares" the fish in his direction, it flees right into its mouth!

  • Thank you for your comment.
