WAY COOL WILDLIFE This is video of an Eastern hog-nosed snake taken in Putnam County. Hog-nosed snakes are known for their defensive display, including hissing and spreading or waving their heads like a cobra. If the perceived threat continues, they'll eventually play dead. Snakes play a crucial role in healthy ecosystems. Please don't harm them. We are often asked to identify snakes through photos.
