Poster Print : Snake tunnel
Poster Prints from Science Photo Library
Snake tunnel
Snake tunnel. The fence guides snakes towards the tunnel under the road. This prevents them crossing the road and being killed by cars. Photographed in Manitoba, Canada, famous for the worlds largest congregations of snakes. Red-sided garter snakes (Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis) emerge from their underground dens in the spring, after hibernating during the winter. The large numbers of snakes (in excess of 65, 000) can lead to increased mortality rates unless measures such as this are taken

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a unique solution to protect the lives of countless snakes in Manitoba, Canada. Known for hosting the world's largest gatherings of snakes, this region faces a significant challenge when these red-sided garter snakes emerge from their underground dens each spring after hibernation. With numbers exceeding 65,000, ensuring their safe passage across roads becomes crucial to prevent unnecessary fatalities. In this image, we witness the ingenious creation of a snake tunnel accompanied by guiding fences that direct these slithering creatures towards an underground pathway beneath the road. This conservation effort aims to safeguard them from fatal encounters with passing vehicles and preserve their natural habitat. The photograph serves as a testament to humanity's commitment towards environmental preservation and wildlife protection. It highlights the importance of ecological corridors and showcases how thoughtful measures can mitigate harm caused by human activities. Through initiatives like this one, education about coexistence between humans and animals is fostered while emphasizing responsible travel practices. The sight of these graceful reptiles navigating through their protective passageway prompts us to reflect on our role in preserving biodiversity and respecting nature's delicate balance. Science Photo Library presents this remarkable image as a reminder that even small actions can make a significant difference in safeguarding our precious wildlife populations worldwide.
