   I found these two Water Moccasins in Austin.  They were fighting over a female.  They kept slamming each other into the water trying to subdue the other.

	Very interesting, thanks for posting. In the UK (and across most of Europe) we have the Adder. The males also fight each other to gain dominance, though not in water (as far as I'm aware). Regards, Tim.
