🐍Agkistrodon piscivorus
Ploskolebec vodní (Agkistrodon piscivorus) je jedovatý had z čeledi zmijovitých a podčeledi chřestýšovitých, žijící na jihovýchodě Spojených států amerických (především na Floridě, kde se mu přezdívá cottonmouth či water moccasin). Druhové vědecké jméno piscivorus je odvozeno z latinských slov piscis a vorus a doslova znamená „rybožrout“. Ve spojení s významem rodového jména by šlo vědecké jméno přeložit jako „hákozubý rybožrout“.
