The Georgia Department of Natural Resources on Monday shared an image of one of the state’s venomous “critters” and asked Facebook followers if they could spot the animal.
“Bonus points if you can correctly identify the species,” the DNR stated, providing this hint:
“In Georgia, they can be found south of the Fall Line in the Coastal Plain. They are known to reach 78 inches (6.5 feet), and there are unsubstantiated reports of them growing to just over 8 feet.”
The post generated more than 300 comments. Many followers provided the correct answer with added commentary or advice, such as, “Watch your step” while hiking in Georgia’s woods.
