You must have often seen people going on honeymoon. But do you know that snakes also gather at a special place? Yes, there is a unique forest in Canada where about 75,000 snakes gather every year.

The reason? Only love.

Where is this place?

This place is in Manitoba province of Canada. There is a small village here named Narcisse. This village is famous all over the world for its snakes.

The love story begins every year

Every year when winter ends and summer begins, thousands of snakes come out of their burrows. This scene is seen in late March or early April.

Male snakes come out first. After that female snakes also come out. Then begins the story of ‘mating ball‘.

What is a ‘mating ball’?

When a female snake comes out, many male snakes try to reach her simultaneously. Dozens of male snakes wrap themselves around a single female. This is called a ‘mating ball’. This sight is worth seeing.

People also come to see this sight

Thousands of people come to Narcisse every year. Special trails have been made in the forest here. So that people can see these snakes without disturbing them.

Everyone from children to adults likes this unique sight very much.

Snakes are poisonous, but also calm

The snakes here are called garter snakes. They are mildly poisonous, but are not a threat to humans. Unless they are disturbed, they do not harm anyone.
