Drama noodle! This particularly dramatic southern hognose snake is displaying a behavior called death feigning. This theatrical display is performed by all species of hognose snake. If the snakes fail to deter an approaching menace - in this case, ARC’s Assistant Field Project Manager Sydney Sheedy 😆 - they will roll over and “die.” Once they determine that they are not actually threatened, they move on with their lives very quickly. Thanks for the great video, Sydney! | Amphibian and Reptile C
