Why it matters
The anhinga is frequently called the snakebird because of its habit of swimming with its body submerged, leaving only its long, slender neck visible above the water. By spreading its distinctive, broad wings to dry after diving, this bird showcases a unique adaptation that allows it to maintain buoyancy while hunting for fish in wetland habitats.
