Minsmere Snake Swim Swimming Berus Vipera
EDITORS COMMENTS
Talk about a slithering surprise! This daring adder decided to take a break from its usual land adventures and show off its impressive swimming skills at Minsmere. With the East Hide as its starting point, this VIP (Very Important Python. . . just kidding, it's actually a Vipera berus) embarked on an aquatic adventure across the scrape. Measuring in at about a quarter of a mile, this snake's swim was no small feat. It gracefully glided through the water, leaving ripples in its wake and captivating all who were lucky enough to witness this extraordinary sight. Move over Michael Phelps, there's a new champion in town! Who knew that snakes could be such talented swimmers? Perhaps they've been secretly training for their own version of the Olympics. Just imagine synchronized swimming with these slippery serpents! This print by FLPA/David Hosking captures not only the beauty of nature but also reminds us that even creatures we may fear or find creepy can surprise us with their incredible abilities. So next time you spot an adder sunbathing on your hike, remember - it might just be practicing for its next Olympic-sized swim!
