When wildlife officials in Georgia stumbled upon a pair of seemingly lifeless snakes that had been vomited up by another, larger snake, they were already surprised by what they had found. But things took an even weirder twist when one of the regurgitated serpents suddenly woke up and slithered off.
Wildlife technicians from Georgia's Department of Natural Resources (DNR) came across the unusual scene in November 2023 while surveying federally protected eastern indigo snakes (Drymarchon couperi) in southern Georgia, according to a DNR Facebook post written on Aug. 29.
