This is about how the Lake Erie Water Snake came back in population recently. The Lake Erie Water Snake was declared threatened 10 years ago. Because of nonnative hogs the Water Snake numbers were declining. Because this species of Water Snake was threatened it was illegal to kill. The nonnative hogs that were introduce to the islands that the Water Snake’s habitat was on really declined the species.

The biologists in Ohio gave the Lake Erie Water Snake a special designated area. This is why their numbers jumped from 1,200 twenty years ago to 12,000 in recent counts. Thanks to other help the Lake Erie Water Snake willnot be on the list of endangered species. This will let the circle of life keep going just as God designed it to. To read more click here.
