Snakebirds are a type of coastal bird also known as anhingas. These birds have long, slender necks and sharp, pointed beaks perfect for catching and eating fish. While "snakebird" is the most common name for these birds, they are also referred to as darters, water turkeys, and even "devil birds" due to their eerie appearance and hunting tactics. In certain regions, such as India and Sri Lanka, they are known as cormorants, but this name is also used to describe a separate species of bird. Regardless of the name, snakebirds are fascinating creatures with unusual behavior and impressive abilities.
