A red-bellied black snake is filmed manoeuvring around rocks in the River Torrens before surfacing with a native fish.

"They hang around dams, creeks and waterways and their food source is mainly tadpoles, frogs, fish [and] yabbies," he told the ABC.

"They are sort of an aquatic snake anyway. The pygmy copperhead in the Adelaide Hills feeds on tadpoles and frogs through the creeks. The tiger snake does the same. "The only snake that doesn't really is the eastern brown, but if they're hungry enough they will eat a fish." Mr Burrell said the red-bellied black snake was a fairly docile reptile and he thought it had actually adapted to spend more time in the water."You can get them right up to 2 metres in the waterways and it's not uncommon to see five or six swimming underwater.Topics:
