Can you find him? 🕵️‍♀️

Ryan Botkin, an archaeologist, was out doing an archaeological reconnaissance survey in Ohio. He and his coworkers were heading out for the day when one of them stopped and pointed out a tiny snake slithering away. The little guy had clearly spotted the group before they’d spotted him, and was attempting to find a safe place to hide.

Botkin loves taking pictures to show his two boys whenever he’s traveling for work, so he did his best to follow the little snake and managed to snap a picture of him. Shortly after he took the shot, the snake found a better hiding place somewhere else, and just like that, was gone. Botkin put his phone away and didn’t think much of it. After all, the photo wasn’t anything special.

“It was just a quick picture of a snake that I took to show my kids some of the things I get to see when I work outside,” Botkin told The Dodo.

After work, Botkin took a look at the photo again — and realized he couldn’t find the snake right away. Eventually he found him, but thought it was pretty funny that even he, the photographer, didn’t see the snake at first. He decided to post the picture on Facebook to see if other people would struggle to find him, too, and they absolutely did.

“It got A LOT of reactions and comments, and people really liked it and thought it was fun and challenging,” Botkin said. “And I didn’t get any negative comments that I read beyond them saying they couldn’t find it or joking that there was no snake in the picture.”

The tiny snake was just trying to find a nice place to hide from people passing by and has no idea that, now, he’s an internet sensation.

Beachgoer Finds Purple ‘Mushroom’ In Surf — Then It Starts To Glow In Her Hand

“We were calling it an ‘alien mushroom from the sea.’”

By Alana Francis-Crow

The other day, Southern California resident Greta Eskridge was exploring the beach when she saw what looked like a purple mushroom in the waves. At first, Eskridge was puzzled. But she quickly realized that what she’d spotted on the beach wasn’t a fungus — it was a unique animal called a sea pansy.

Sea pansies are a type of soft coral who are closely related to anemones and jellyfish. The organisms function both as individual animals and as a colony of polyps.
