The
Canadian Wildlife
Federation has created a great poster about snakes for their
Wild
About... poster series. It introduces Canada's 24 snakes,
their behaviours and habitats. And it explains how snakes are
a boon to gardeners and why they should be welcomed, not feared.
(It also advises how to prepare for a snake encounter—"should
you be so lucky!").
