Had to postpone a planned visit to the Narcisse Snake Dens this weekend because of poor weather. We'll try again next weekend. But these dens are some kind of awesome:
"Manitoba's red-sided garter snake dens are world famous for being the largest concentration of snakes in the world. During the spring mating and the fall pre-denning periods in excess of 50,000 snakes congregate at the dens in the Narcisse Wildlife Management Area (WMA) which contains four major wintering dens. The dens are a network of crevasses and caverns extending to the earth’s surface which were formed by underground water that eroded and collapsed the limestone. It is only by amassing below the frost line that the snakes are able to survive the harsh Manitoba winters."
Sweet!
