“Would you kindly sssstop bothering me? I’m trying to ssssleep!”
This coiled creature is a western rat snake, basking in the sun on a hot Midwestern morning. These fellows aren’t venomous, nor are they particularly hostile to people; like with most wild animals, just keep your distance and leave them alone, and they’ll go about their business. Just don’t look into its eyes, and you’re fine. ;-p
During my recent visit to Wichita, KS to see my good friend
UrsusArctos , we spent a good couple of hours at the Great Plains Nature Center, a large area of green land in the east of the city with a visitor centre and several miles of paths to follow. In the visitor centre is a large “Habitat Hall” with exhibits on the wide variety of fauna living in the state, and an observation conservatory for people to look out on bird feeders, and into a box covered by a blanket to see a large beehive at work. The Nature Center is perfect for a good stroll on a bright day, to escape from the city for a bit and to keep one’s eyes peeled for the signs of nature (tracks, leavings, etc) and for inhabitants of this little ecosystem, be they aquatic, avian, or land-based.
Hope you enjoy!
