Which fascinating fact is actually a fib?
- When threatened, a harmless hog-nosed snake flattens its head like a cobra. If the threat persists, the snake rolls onto its back and pretends to be dead.
- After a hog-nosed snake performs its cobra act, it can take up to 30 minutes for its puffed-up head to return to normal size.
- Toads secrete poison from their skin that sickens predators. Hog-nosed snakes are immune to toad toxin and happily munch the hapless hoppers.
