Defensive behavior is an important mechanism for any animal survival, and understand their’s strategy improve our knowledge about prey-predator relationship. Herein, based on field observation, we describe a sequence of behaviors displayed by the dusky mud snake Pseudoeryx plicatilis from the Pantanal floodplains. The individual displayed five different defensive behaviors, and no sequence pattern was recognized. Two of them were new for the species, and although some of those defensive strategies have already been reported for other Hydropsini snakes, we found some differences in such behaviors displayed by P. plicatilis . The new repertory described here may suggest distinct prey-predator interactions from other water snakes within the tribe.
