picture info	Enhydris ''Enhydris'' is a genus of slightly venomous, rear-fanged, snakes in the family Homalopsidae. The genus is endemic to the tropical area of Indo-Australian region. Species The following 6 species are recognized: * '' Enhydris chanardi'' Murphy & Voris, 2005 * '' Enhydris enhydris'' (Schneider, 1799) * '' Enhydris innominata'' ( Morice, 1875) * '' Enhydris jagorii'' ( W. Peters, 1863) * '' Enhydris longicauda'' ( Bourret, 1934) * '' Enhydris subtaeniata'' (Bourret, 1934) Several additional species have traditionally been placed here, but are now often in genera such as '' Subsessor'' and '' Pseudoferania''. Another species, '' Enhydris smithi'' , was considered to be a valid species by herpetologists M.A. Smith 1943, Das 2010, and Wallach et al. 2014, but was considered to be a synonym of ''Enhydris jagorii'' by Cox et al. 1998, and Murphy & Voris 2014. ''Nota bene'': In the list above, a binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

	Enhydris Chanardi The Sind River snake (''Enhydris chanardi''), also known commonly as Chanard's mud snake and Chan-ard's water snake, is a species of mildly venomous, rear-fanged snake in the family Homalopsidae. The species is endemic to Thailand. Geographic range ''E. chanardi'' is found near or around Bangkok, Thailand. Etymology The specific name, ''chanardi'', is in honour of Thai herpetologist (Mr.) Tanya Chan-ard. Beolens, Bo; Watkins, Michael; Grayson, Michael (2011). ''The Eponym Dictionary of Reptiles''. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press. xiii + 296 pp. . (''Enhydris chanardi'', p. 51). Habitat The preferred natural habitat of ''E. chanardi'' is freshwater wetlands. Behaviour ''E. chanardi'' is crepuscular or nocturnal. Diet ''E. chanardi'' preys upon fishes and frogs.. Reproduction ''E. chanardi'' is viviparous. Conservation status ''E. chanardi'' is listed as "Data Deficient" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Little is known about the bi ...

	Subsessor ''Subsessor'' is a genus of snake in the family Homalopsidae. The genus is monotypic, containing the sole species ''Subsessor bocourti''. The species is commonly known as Bocourt's mud snake or Bocourt's water snake and has traditionally been placed in the genus ''Enhydris''. Etymology Both the specific name, ''bocourti'', and the common name, Bocourt's water snake, refer to French zoologist Marie Firmin Bocourt. Beolens B, Watkins M, Grayson M (2011). ''The Eponym Dictionary of Reptiles''. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press. xiii + 296 pp. . (''Enhydris bocourti'', p. 28). Geographic range and habitat ''S. bocourti'' is found in a wide range of stagnant fresh water habitats in Mainland Southeast Asia. Records from China are questionable. Description A robust snake, ''S. bocourti'' can surpass in length. Reproduction ''S. bocourti'' is a live bearing species, giving birth to, on average, 3-8 fully formed neonate snakes. Diet ''S. bocourti'' feeds on frogs, fishes, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Pseudoferania ''Pseudoferania'' is a genus of snake in the family Homalopsidae. The genus is monotypic, containing the sole species ''Pseudoferania polylepis'' (MacLeay's water snake). The snake is found in Australia and New Guinea. Description MacLeay's water snake is a largely nocturnal species that is typically found in coastal Northern Territory. The water snakes spend most of their time in or near water where they feed; they will only leave to bask in the sun or breed. They are found mostly in freshwater lagoons, swamps and creeks and can also be found sheltering in vegetation near water. Their range increases markedly during wet season flooding. Their most defining characteristic is their stout bodies and strongly keeled scales. In terms of breeding, water snakes are viviparous Among animals, viviparity is development of the embryo inside the body of the parent. This is opposed to oviparity which is a reproductive mode in which females lay developing eggs that complete their develo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
picture info	Snake Snakes are elongated, limbless, carnivorous reptiles of the suborder Serpentes . Like all other squamates, snakes are ectothermic, amniote vertebrates covered in overlapping scales. Many species of snakes have skulls with several more joints than their lizard ancestors, enabling them to swallow prey much larger than their heads ( cranial kinesis). To accommodate their narrow bodies, snakes' paired organs (such as kidneys) appear one in front of the other instead of side by side, and most have only one functional lung. Some species retain a pelvic girdle with a pair of vestigial claws on either side of the cloaca. Lizards have evolved elongate bodies without limbs or with greatly reduced limbs about twenty-five times independently via convergent evolution, leading to many lineages of legless lizards. These resemble snakes, but several common groups of legless lizards have eyelids and external ears, which snakes lack, although this rule is not universal (see Amphisbae ...

	Homalopsidae The Homalopsidae are a family of snakes which contains about 28 genera and more than 50 species. They are commonly known as Indo-Australian water snakes, mudsnakes, or bockadams. They are also known as ''ular air'' (lit. "water snake") in Indonesian. They are typically stout-bodied water snakes, and all are mildly venomous. Two monotypic genera are notable for their unusual morphology: '' Erpeton'' possesses a pair of short, fleshy appendages protruding from the front of the snout, and '' Bitia'' has uniquely enlarged palatine teeth. ''Cerberus'' species have been noted to use sidewinding to cross slick mud flats during low tide. '' Fordonia'' and '' Gerarda'' are the only snakes known to tear their prey apart before eating it, pulling soft-shelled crabs through their coils to rip them apart prior to ingestion. Genera * '' Bitia'' Gray, 1842 * ''Brachyorrhos'' Kuhl, 1826 * ''Calamophis'' Meyer, 1874 * ''Cantoria'' Girard, 1857 * ''Cerberus'' Cuvier, 1829 * '' Dieurostus'' Be ...

	Charles-Nicolas-Sigisbert Sonnini De Manoncourt Charles-Nicolas-Sigisbert Sonnini de Manoncourt (1 February 1751 – 9 May 1812) was a French naturalist. Career Between 1799 and 1808, Sonnini de Manoncourt wrote 127 volumes of the ''Histoire naturelle''. Noteworthy among these, especially for herpetologists, is ''Histoire naturelle des Reptiles, avec figures desinées d'après nature'', in four volumes, which he wrote with Pierre André Latreille Pierre André Latreille (; 29 November 1762 – 6 February 1833) was a French zoology, zoologist, specialising in arthropods. Having trained as a Roman Catholic priest before the French Revolution, Latreille was imprisoned, and only regained hi .... This work includes descriptions and illustrations of many North American reptiles.
