A snake was seen floating down a river like a sunbather in a rubber ring - chilling in the sunshine oblivious to onlooker.

The cottonmouth snake was relaxing on the Pee Dee river in South Carolina on March 31.

Nature enthusiast Jason Cholewa was out to get some photographs when he noticed the super-calm snake.

He said: "I took out my camera and filmed what was happening. I had to show how chill the cottonmouth was.

"A lot of people in the southern US think that they are mean, aggressive, and should be killed. But they are really just like any other wild animal. If you leave it alone and admire it from a safe distance, they will not bother you."

Cottonmouth snakes are venomous, semi-aquatic snakes that are endemic to the southeastern United States.
