This snake is not native to Florida.
It's native to India.
If it's not a Florida snake,
why are you writting about it?
I will tell you why.
The snake below is a Hognose snake.
It's native to Florida.
When threatened this snake will mimic a Cobra.
What's mimic mean?
The Hognose will imitate the behavior of a
King Cobra to scare off attackers.
Unlike the Cobra, the Hognose isn't venomous.
But it wants you to think it is.
That's not all the Hognose does.
It also plays dead.
The snake in this picture isn't dead.
Once again, he wants you to think he is.
The Hognose will also release a foul odor.
However, I have a question. How did the snake learn this?
There are no Cobras in Florida.
What do you think?
