You have probably heard this one, that there are actually "hoop" snakes that will grab their tails when threatened and roll down a hill like a wagon wheel. Sorry to say, even though it would be entertaining, it's not true. The myth, according to some, may have been due to the behavior of the South Carolina Mud Snake which will lie loosely in a coil, especially while incubating eggs.
