If it runs into itself, game over.This Sonoran Mountain kingsnake (Lampropeltis pyromelana) has only one game. Snake. And it’s pretty good at it. Here it shows off those skills, hey, no cheating, on the walls of the visitor center at Coronado National Monument in Arizona. The Sonoran Mountain Kingsnake is a medium-sized snake with red, white, and black bands. It is non-venomous, but it’s a mimic of the Coral Snake which helps it to avoid predation. Either way, if you come across a snake, keep your distance and don’t hiss it off.

I saw this on the National Park Service group and thought it was slightly amusing. The real surprise was because I looked at it the algorithm started feeding similar stuff from Ratsnakes in Predicaments. This Facebook group has 45,00 members! The level of specificity online is just mind blowing compared to the days of paper print.
