A case of mistaken identity likely led to this poor slithery fellow being smashed flat along Sulphur Creek Road last weekend. At first glance, bull snakes often appear to be dangerous rattlers, and they use this illusion to their advantage, flattening their heads into a triangular shape, curling into a defensive position, and imitating the hair-raising sound of a rattle by shaking their tail in leaves and grasses. Upon closer inspection, however, it’s relatively easy…
Or, someone was driving along and never noticed it.
