What is a "copperhead"?

A copperhead is a venomous snake native to North America, known for its distinctive copper-colored head. It has a relatively thick body with dark, hourglass-shaped bands along its lighter-colored scales. Copperheads are primarily found in forested areas and rocky habitats, where they blend in with their surroundings. They are known for their ambush hunting style, relying on camouflage and stealth to capture their prey, which primarily consists of small rodents, amphibians, and insects. While their venom is potent, copperheads are generally non-aggressive and will typically only bite if threatened or provoked. Nonetheless, encounters with copperheads should be approached with caution, as their bite can cause severe pain and potential complications if left untreated.
