      Abstract
      Danau Towuti adalah ekosistem purba Sulawesi dengan banyak spesies endemik lokal, termasuk ular air Hypsiscopus indonesiensis. Terlepas dari fakta bahwa hal tersebut telah dideskripsikan, informasi yang tersedia mengenai distribusi dan karakteristik habitatnya di danau masih sangat terbatas. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah memperbarui data distribusi, mengidentifikasi karakteristik habitat, serta menyediakan dokumentasi visual spesimen hidup pertama di habitat alaminya. Survei lapangan dilakukan pada Januari dan Agustus 2025 di enam lokasi di sekitar Danau Towuti menggunakan metode purposive sampling yang dikombinasikan dengan metode eksplorasi. Selain itu, observasi dilakukan di area perairan terbuka di dekat platform apung (bagan). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa H. indonesiensis menghuni daerah litoral yang dangkal dengan substrat berbatu, berpasir, atau berlumpur, di mana vegetasi riparian yang rapat didominasi oleh Kjellbergiodendron celebicum dan sistem perakaran terendam. Perluasan jangkauan distribusi spesies ke area limnetik di sekitar bagan dengan kedalaman 90 m merupakan temuan penting dari penelitian ini. Spesies ini ditemukan saat proses penangkapan ikan di sekitar bagan yang ikut terjaring. Hal ini menunjukkan kemampuan daya jelajah yang jauh melampaui perkiraan sebelumnya. Bentuk ekor yang pipih secara lateral, secara morfologis, diduga berperan penting dalam kemampuan H. indonesiensis untuk bergerak secara efisien di perairan terbuka. Penelitian ini juga menyediakan dokumentasi fotografi in situ pertama yang merekam ular di habitat litoral dan perairan terbuka. Temuan ini memperluas jangkauan ekologi H. indonesiensis yang telah diketahui dan mengindikasikan bahwa spesies tersebut mungkin menghuni beragam habitat yang lebih luas di Danau Towuti daripada yang tercatat sebelumnya.
       
      Lake Towuti is an ancient ecosystem in Sulawesi with many local endemic species, including the water snake Hypsiscopus indonesiensis. Despite its description, information on its distribution and habitat characteristics in the lake remains very limited. The objectives of this study are to update distribution data, identify habitat characteristics, and provide visual documentation of the first live specimen in its natural habitat. Field surveys were conducted in January and August 2025 at six locations around Lake Towuti using a combination of purposive sampling and exploratory methods. Additionally, observations were made in open water areas near floating platforms (bagan). The results of the study indicate that H. indonesiensis inhabits shallow littoral zones with rocky, sandy, or muddy substrates, where dense riparian vegetation is dominated by Kjellbergiodendron celebicum and submerged root systems. The expansion of the species' distribution range into pelagic areas (open waters) around the bagan at a depth of 90 m is a key finding of this study. The species was found during fishing operations around the bagan, having been accidentally caught in the nets, indicating a range far exceeding previous estimates. The laterally flattened tail shape is a morphological adaptation that is thought to play a key role in H. indonesiensis ability to move efficiently in open water. This study also provides the first in situ photographic documentation of the snake in both littoral and open-water habitats. These findings expand the known ecological range of H. indonesiensis and suggest that the species may inhabit a wider variety of habitats within Lake Towuti than previously documented.
