The cottonmouth eats a lot of different prey. The diet includes other snakes, fish, lizards, turtles, frogs, small birds and alligators and mammals. It doesn't swallow its prey until it is dead, a behavior seen when the prey is held in the snake's jaws until it finally succombs to the venom. Prey that is likely to bite back is first struck and then released to avoid eventual attacks. Howeveer, if the prey flees the cottonmouth is able to track and hunt down the escaped prey.

A full-grown Burmese python I helped confiscate from an 'idiot' - was eating live rabbits (until I managed to coax it onto dead prey). It would take around 45 seconds from seizing the prey to death.
