This northern watersnake (Nerodia sipedon) was basking on a trail beside a pond. A common, nonvenomous species, it has a reputation for being aggressive, but it’ll only bite if cornered or picked up. Rather than laying eggs, females give live birth to one litter of young every year. If you’re wondering what a baby watersnake looks like, well, it’s just about as cute as you’d imagine.
