Snakes generally tend to cause a stir when they’re found someplace they wouldn’t normally be. However, what if they’re simply found to look a different way than we’re used to? This was the reason behind the Facebook share of the photo of a strange-looking rock rattlesnake in west Texas.
A picture of this pale-looking rattler, which was blending in with the sidewalk beneath it, was shared by a Texas state park in El Paso. The number of shares its received due to its uniqueness may surprise you (just as much as the snake did the photographer!). The Wyler Aerial Tramway – Texas Parks & Wildlife account has seen more than 7K shares of the photo since it was first posted. And, although one might think the shock value and phobias to the creature would have been the impetus for its popularity, in truth, the online reactions were more out of curiosity and awe.
