This is Mr. Snake, he lives in the desert. It's as hot 

as 104°F in the summer and as cold as 17°F at night 

with barely 10 inches of rain during the year. The 

inhabitants are all out to compete and fight each other 

to survive. Yet, Mr. Snake has lived here his entire life. 

He also likes to change his color a lot.

Mr. Snake survives by hiding in the sand to escape from the 

burning sun and hide from potential predators like hawks and 

eagles. The rock ledges and shifting desert sands work as a cover 

for him.

At night, Mr. Snake will come out to look for prey to eat. His eyes 

allow him to see in the dark, making hunting easier. When he spots 

a rodent or a lizard, he will pounce and swallow them whole. This 

keeps him satisfied for a day or two.

FOR THE 

CAUSE!!!!

   FOR 

LUNCH!!!

Today, like always, Mr. Snake is out hunting for prey. He passes 

by many cacti and shrubs while slithering through the sand. The 

plant life is a good source of shade and sometimes water. Mr. 

Snake keeps himself from drying out by trapping water on his 

scales to use later.

Over the last few days, finding prey, mostly small rodents and 

reptiles, has been difficult. There seems to be less animals in the 

area than in years past.

Suddenly, Mr.Snake hears loud noises and notices a lot of movement 

in the distance. He decides to go check it out.

What Mr. Snake saw was something he had never scene before. 

Some kind of large creature was digging holes in the ground and 

making strange sounds. There was also strange dark substances on 

the sand's surface.

Little did he know that the desert home he lived in was filled with 

precious oil. Humans in trucks would come daily to dig through the 

desert to find a source of that liquid gold, destroying the land in the 

process.

Mr. Snake noticed how badly the land was being damaged by these 

things. So, Mr. Snake went off and gathered his fellow snakes 

together.

Donning his captain's hat, Captain Snake gathered his crew. As a 

big group, the snake army slithered towards the strange creature. 

The approached, hissing, ready to fight for their homeland.
