    Post Ignorance is bliss

    Most people ooh and ahh not knowing that African rock pythons are a TOPS species and are afforded the same protection as Rhino.
    It really grinds my gears how people can be so ignorant when the animal is not deemed "majestic".

    I didn't know the African Rock Python was on the TOPS list, honestly. I love snakes, pythons are no exception, but knowing they're threatened saddens me. :(

    If it isn't mammalian, people don't care.

    Those dogs in the pic hint that they might have been hunting/poaching when they came across the serpent.
    Quite a common activity in our part of KZN.
