The Dice snake (Natrix tessellata) is a skilled hunter, adept at catching small fish and tadpoles in lakes. In the Patras area, this species can be found gliding through the water, its sleek body propelling it forward as it searches for its next meal. With precision and agility, the Dice snake swims gracefully, using its keen senses to detect movement beneath the surface. In Bulgaria's tranquil waters of May 2008, a magnificent specimen was spotted near the edge of a lake. Its vibrant scales glistened under the sunlight as it ventured closer to the water's edge. A juvenile Dice snake was also observed in shallow water within Olympus National Park in Greece; its delicate frame flicking out its tongue to taste the surroundings. Backlit by the sun's rays, these young snakes showcased their beauty with light spots dancing on their bodies. Their slender forms moved effortlessly through shallow waters while basking in nature's spotlight. With focused gazes fixed on their prey - frogs lurking below - they patiently awaited an opportune moment to strike. As evening descended upon Bulgaria once again, another encounter with a Dice Snake occurred. This time, it darted its tongue into the water with remarkable speed and accuracy. The reflection mirrored each movement as if capturing an intricate dance between predator and prey. The Natrix tessellata is truly captivating both underwater and above ground; however, it is during these moments of hunting that we witness their true prowess. These fascinating creatures remind us of nature's delicate balance and how every living being plays a vital role in our ecosystem.
