Even Snakes Are Staying at Home During the Pandemic
Occurred on April 6, 2020 / North Sioux City, South Dakota, USA
Info from Licensor: "The video of the Garter snakes was taken near a state park in South Dakota. Park visitors noticed some activity in the area for the last couple of days. I manage the park so I have been visiting the hibernaculum. I was lucky to get the shot of all the snakes calmly hanging out near the den site. I was sitting far away enough that they did not get scared, but close enough to get a little nervous when the one came close to my pant leg. I have loved nature since I was a kid and I am glad to show people some exciting behavior and maybe put a smile on their face during these tough times."
