Fishersnakes - large tunnelsnakes with short, dense fur, fishersnakes inhabit the edges of rivers, streams and lakes. Not especially well equipped as swimmers, the 'snakes have elongated forelimbs with huge claws and also have excellent eyesight; they choose fishing points beside their chosen body of water and stand perfectly still, waiting for a fish to pass by. Once the prey has been spotted, the forelimbs are used to quickly grab the fish from the water to be dispatched by the 'snake's teeth before being consumed.
