Erpeton tentaculatum

It lives the majority of its life in murky water, able to stay underwater for up to 30 minutes without coming up for air. It is the only species of snake to possess twin “tentacles” on the front of its head, their purpose is unclear, but most likely a sensory function used in detecting prey.
