Have you ever been to a place where you feel so uncomfortable thinking that some creepy creature might be crawling in? Well, there’s this place that would surely give you goosebumps especially when you’re afraid of snakes.
Narcisse Snake Dens in Manitoba, Canada is regarded as the largest aggregation of Red-sided Garter snakes in the world. During winter, these cold-blooded snakes gather inside subterranean caverns which are formed by the area’s water-worn limestone bedrock. And when the snow melts in late April and in early May, tens of thousands of these snakes come out of their winter dens up to the surface of the ground where they engage in mating rituals.
Just seeing thousands of these long, limbless reptiles all in tangled heaps, you’ll know how hard it is for the males to find a female. And when they do, this group of cording males would then gather around one female. They get so wrapped up that they could tumble down a hill like a ball that’s why people call them “mating balls”.
