The Eastern Hognose Snake is known for its remarkable ability to fake its death as a defense mechanism. When threatened, it may roll onto its back, open its mouth, and emit a foul smell, mimicking the appearance and scent of a dead animal. This behavior can deter potential predators, as they often prefer live prey. The Eastern Hognose's dramatic act of "playing dead" is a fascinating adaptation for survival.
