Geophis hoffmanni exhibited the most incredible anti-predator behaviour. When I disturbed it, it would literally cartwheel off the trail into cover. Somehow, it could rapidly throw itself end over end.

Maybe thats where the Hoop snake myth come from ..... It isn't as much of a made up story as everyone thinks...

awesome photos, i would love to visit south america one day, there are so many amazing creatures
