Alerted by a chaparone from one of the many school groups present that day (May 4) that a snake was swimming along the banks of the Wetlands, I saw Big Momma, a large female Northern Water Snake, swim by just a few feet off the shore. Moments later the snake had a frog in her jaws. The grip was a tenuous one as only the frog’s foot was in the snake’s mouth.


Oddly, the frog didn’t struggle as much as I thought it would.




It’s now over an hour into the event.


The next day…

WOW!! I’m mesmerised.
Never a boring moment out in the Wild!
Thanks,
Amazing Greg!
When will we have water snake babies in the Wetland?
There could be dozens of little babies out and about by late summer or early fall.
Thanks,
Whoa!
