Why it matters
The Oriental Darter, known scientifically as Anhinga melanogaster, is often called the snakebird for its habit of swimming with its body submerged and only its long, slender neck visible above the surface. Its narrow wings and pointed tail are specialized adaptations for an aquatic lifestyle, allowing it to expertly maneuver underwater while hunting fish.
