Hognose is a type of snake.

Hognose snakes are part of the family Colubridae and the genus
Heterodon. Common nicknames for Hognose snakes include "Puff
Adder", the "Blowing Adder", the "Flathead", "Spreading Adder",
and the "Hissing Adder". Please note though, the nickname "Puff
Adder" is only a nickname, and is not scientifically correct as
there is a different, highly-venomous snake called the Puff
Adder that resides in Africa. Many people fear these snakes due
to the snakes' nature to spread their hoods as if they were
cobras, hiss loudly, and strike. Hognose snakes, however, will
not generally bite in self-defense, but rather resort to the
methods listed above to scare away predators.

Several species of Hognose snakes exist, such as:

Western Hognose Heterodon nasicus
Eastern Hognose Heterodon platyrhinos
Southern Hognose Heterdon simus
