שָׁתָת מֵהֶן בְּהֵמָה אוֹ חַיָּה, פְּסוּלִין. כָּל הָעוֹפוֹת פּוֹסְלִין, חוּץ מִן הַיּוֹנָה, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהִיא מוֹצֶצֶת. כָּל הַשְּׁרָצִים אֵינָם פּוֹסְלִין, חוּץ מִן הַחֻלְדָּה, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהִיא מַלֶּקֶת. רַבָּן גַּמְלִיאֵל אוֹמֵר, אַף הַנָּחָשׁ, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהִיא מְקִיאָה. רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר, אַף הָעַכְבָּר:

If a domesticated or wild animal drank from them, they [the waters] are invalid. All birds invalidate them [by drinking], except for the dove, for she [only] sucks [and no split leaves her mouth]. None of the rodents invalidate it [by drinking] except for the weasel for she laps it. Rabban Gamliel says: even the snake [invalidates] for it regurgitates. Rabbi Eliezer says: even the mouse [invalidates].
