The poet compares the snake’s drinking habits to cattle drinking water because the snake lifted his head while drinking as cattle do and looked at the poet vaguely again as cattle do.

Answer :
This question is based on the poem 'Snake' by D. H. Lawrence.
In the poem, the poet compares the snake's drinking habit to that of cattle. This is because the snake lifted his head while drinking water and looked at the poet vaguely with uncertainty just like cattle do while drinking water or eating food.
The answer can be found in the following lines from the poem :
'He lifted his head from his drinking, as cattle do,
And looked at me vaguely, as drinking cattle do,'
