Do Cats Hunt Snakes
Do Cats Hunt Snakes. Why do cats attack snakes? Cats like to hunt for fun.
The Hoop Snake rolls at a blazing speed, avoiding trees or cars and other objects that might be in its way. It pursues its victim down, down hills and down hills and down hills, as well as sets of steps, across the yard, and over the cat. It is impossible to stop the snake from following a child, their favorite prey. I can recall looking around every corner to ensure my safety against the familiar snake. However I did not see it and I never met another kid who was either chased by the Hoop Snake. My generation was likely faster than the previous generation because almost all adults who talked about this creature were either victims or relatives who were victimized by the Hoop Snake. It's a shame that kids become adults and realize there are no Hoop Snakes. They were a huge element of the kids' lives. Children would never have the opportunity to meet this animal if they didn't hear it from their parents.
There is no telling how many kids got a slap from the makers of this tail due to being late for supper or for not arriving on time because they were slow walking and were looking around at every place in the distance that there was a Hoop Snake could be waiting to wait for them, while on their way to their home. It was a confusing moment for children from my former neighborhood. I have come to realize that there wasn't an Hoop Snake which is due to the time I spent away from my youth. Can you even imagine the strength the animal would possess if it was real? The ability to turn on its back is an inflict of defiance to the laws of physics. The animal is also able to move through trees while its eyes are either looking downwards or upwards. So I must have provided some adults with a laugh as they watched me walk away looking around every corner I came across. This tale is busted, never was ever a Hoop Snake, never will be.
Then comes the frightening Milk Snake, who caused the condition known as brittlebone in children. As a youngster I was instructed to drink all my milk since there was an increase in the number of Milk Snakes as a result of the heavy rains and there would be a shortage of milk fairly soon. This Milk Snake was not related to the real milk snake, a member of the King Snake family, (Lampropeltis triangulum) but not in any way. This snake was fat and black, and could sneak into barns under a dark cloak. It moved swiftly and deliberatey, so it didn't have a chance. It would latch onto the cows utter and never giving any thought to the children with teeth that were likely to fall out and then acquire brittle bones, it forced the poor cow to drink dry. We were told that farmers would go to the barn at night to dust the cows and then leave it to utter as they milked it.
The reward was paid by farmers who would pay a lot of money for each milk snake they brought into their farms. I have never thought of it before, but can you think of the size of a milk snake that would have become to eat up to four gallons in one sitting? The snakes are visible at a distance of 25 feet and are the size of a football. It was difficult to find a snake this big however, it was awe-inspiring, just like the vampire who could drink six liters of blood from one human. Nobody ever got the first cent of the bounty's given to the milk thief. The legend of the milk snake is gone. Snakes aren't tolerant of lactose, so forcing a snake drink two inches of water from a snake could result in its death. Don't fall for the myths.
What ever happened the new species of snake, the "Venomous Bull Snake?" This terrifying creature is the result a pair of very divergent, yet very affectionate, snakes. They met one another only a few minutes ago. The male was a Eastern Diamondback rattlesnake who came upon an Southern Pine snake, they looked at each other and was able to see stars both and cupid started shooting arrows all over the place and they fell madly in love with the another. Like all married couples, they had lots of young un. These were not your average young adults. They had half the arsenal of defencive weapons as their fathers and half that of their mothers. In all fairness, the Bull Snake as it was known was one of most unpleasant animals to encounter within the forest.
