About This Item

Snake

The four travel bugs in the Audubon Food Chain were all released from the Audubon Center at the Francis Beidler Forest. The arrows depict the flow of energy in the simple food chain shown here: Butterfly => Frog => Snake => Hawk. Food chains exist everywhere on Earth and they intersect each other (fish also eat frogs, birds also eat frogs, frogs also eat frogs) to form complex food webs.

Hate snakes? Remove them from the environment and entire ecosystems will be affected. For example, higher rodent populations would consume greater plant matter (less food for other animals, including us) and increase the risk of disease transmission.

Habitat loss is currently the greatest threat to a multitude of species. In addition to moving this travel bug along, please investigate how you can help protect the food chains and food webs in your community!

Found in a rotten log at Beech Fork State Park in West Virginia. Picked him up to get away from a bald eagle. They're seen at this lake.

We once saved a toad from a black rat snake and stitched him up with thread. He healed up and survived. I don't think the snake could have swallowed him anyway.

I attached pics of him on a log and his buddy at the next cache we visited today....LETSRACE and ANGRY BEAVER

  • Slitherin' away.
  • His bigger cousin getting a sun tan!

Found this one in a cache that I was expecting to see a live snake. I will move him along in search of that yummy frog to gobble up!
