Snakes Myth From Lebanon — Wildlife Photography Journey

English

Almost every time snakes are discussed, we hear a lot of old stories passed down through generations from father to son, often fueled by ignorance, superstition, and fear. 99.99% of the time, these stories are unreal, inflated over the years, and far from the truth. Below are some of the stories told to us, presented with AI-generated photos to reflect what people think they saw or heard from their grandparents.

In many snake rescue calls, people massively exaggerate the size, describing the snake as bigger and more aggressive than it is.

One time, we received a call for a big Large Whip Snake that turned out to be a very small and narrow dwarf snake, so you get the idea.

Again, the photos in this blog are AI-generated for presentation purposes, and there is nothing like them in the wild.
