A darter, also known as a snakebird or anhinga, is an aquatic bird renowned for its remarkable fishing abilities. Darters possess sleek and slender bodies with long, flexible necks that allow them to swiftly navigate through water. One of their distinctive features is their sharply pointed bill, perfectly adapted for spearing fish underwater. Darters are exceptional divers, employing a unique hunting technique. They swim stealthily beneath the water's surface, using their wings to propel themselves forward while their long neck remains poised above the water. When they locate their prey, darters rapidly extend their necks and thrust their bills forward to snatch fish with impressive accuracy. After capturing their meal, darters resurface, often tossing the fish into the air and expertly maneuvering it to swallow headfirst.
