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!
