What is That Smell?!
The Hognose Snake has an upturned nose. Hognose snakes roll over on their back, open up their mouths, and let their tounges fall out and pretend to act dead.
They also, let out an awful stench to really make their predators think they have been sitting there awhile.
The hognose snake, when threatened, raises its head off the ground, hisses, and rears it's back just like a cobra. This is only for show.
