A Grass Snake Curled in a Woodland Clearing
The reptile lies comfortably on bare soil in the middle of a sunlit clearing. Clumps of dense grass and tall cattails grow around the resting snake, creating a sheltered habitat near a woodland damp area.
Fascinating Characteristics of Grass Snakes
Grass snakes are harmless reptiles that live near ponds, lakes, and damp woods where food is plentiful. They are excellent swimmers and often hunt for frogs and fish directly in shallow water. When threatened by a predator, a grass snake may roll onto its back and play dead to discourage attacks.
