Erpeton
''Erpeton'' is a genus of water snake of the family Colubridae, which includes a single known species, the tentacled snake, ''Erpeton tentaculatum'', which is native to South-East Asia. They are aquatic and extremely fast in catching their prey, small fish.〔(LiveScience video - Snake Tricks Prey )〕 The snakes accomplish the capture of their prey by cheating on a C-start escape reflex of the fish: after a fish approaches, the snake bends, and makes a quick movement with a measured segment of its body, startling the fish exactly in the direction of snake's head. ==Footnotes==
