It's World Snake Day! 🐍

Did you know that national parks are home to hundreds of snake species, many of which play a vital role in maintaining healthy ecosystems?

From the elusive rubber boa slithering through OlympicNPS to the vibrant eastern coral snake hiding in EvergladesNPS, snakes help control rodent populations and serve as important indicators of environmental health.

So next time you're out on the trail, keep your eyes peeled and your distance... these legless wonders deserve our respect (and some space)!
