Defensive Display of a Rhombic Egg Eater || ViralHog
Occurred on January 9, 2019 / Vaalwater, South Africa
A co-worker and I work at Welgevonden Game Reserve in South Africa. We went looking for snakes near the reserve. In the headlights, we saw a snake crossing the road so we got out and identified it as a Rhombic Egg-eating Snake, also known as a Dasypeltis Scabra. Their diet consists completely of undeveloped bird eggs. They are almost completely devoid of teeth and are unable to break human skin, rendering them completely harmless (and defenseless) to us and other animals. To make up for this, they have developed an impressive defensive behavior where they form a coil and rub their rough scales together to make a rasping noise. While doing this, the snake will gape and mock strike at the “attacker”, missing intentionally, as a real strike will show the attacker precisely how harmless this snake actually is. This defensive behavior is all a big act and is assumed to mimic the superficially similar, but highly venomous, Saw-Scales Viper found further north in Africa and Asia. Once we had taken the video of the snake, it was moved off the road and left to disappear into the night.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Waterberg (Northern Sotho: Thaba Meetse) is a mountainous massif of approximately 654,033 hectare in north Limpopo Province, South Africa.
The average height of the mountain range is 600 m with a few peaks rising up to 2000 m above sea level. Vaalwater town is located just north of the mountain range. The extensive rock formation was shaped by hundreds of millions of years of riverine erosion to yield diverse bluff and butte landform. The ecosystem can be characterised as a dry deciduous forest or Bushveld. Within the Waterberg there are archaeological finds dating to the Stone Age, and nearby are early evolutionary finds related to the origin of humans.
Waterberg (Thaba Meetse) is the first region in the northern part of South Africa to be named as a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO.
West Chester University Group in the Madikwe Game Reserve
The first Study Abroad group from West Chester University (Pennsylvania, USA) were in South Africa for three weeks in January and ended their trip with a three day Safari at Mosetlha Bush Camp in the Madikwe Game Reserve. This video shows some glimpses of what they experienced which included three of the BIG FIVE as well as a wide variety of other animals and bird life. Their whole trip was arranged by Patrick Hamilton Travel, specialists in Study Abroad in South Africa.
