Massasauga rattlesnake?🐍 Think again! When feeling threatened, eastern #Foxsnakes may vibrate their tail, mimicking the characteristic rattle of the venomous Massasauga. They are harmless but may be killed when mistaken for #rattlesnakes. Learn more: https://t.co/RkKzPXjIFT

Did you know that #foxsnakes can emit a fox-like musk when they're threatened? https://t.co/oD8jHWFF6D

#WildlifeResearchers can recognize individual eastern #foxsnakes by their unique colour patterns. There is one snake who appears twice in these photos from OPRREC surveys - can you spot them?

#DidYouKnow that #FoxSnakes got their name because their musk (stinky defence odour secreted from their cloaca) smells like a red fox? I personally think these #snakes are some of the better smelling ones... they smell like vinegar to me– mmmm #SciComm #WetlandsAndReptilesProject
