In Santa Fe, Argentina, 46-year-old Lujan Eroles had a startling moment. She found a strange critter in her garden.
What she first thought was a snake was actually a cool example of nature’s mimicry – a 10-cm-long creature that looked like a snake.
This find amazed Eroles and her neighbors and led to lots of talk about the mysterious thing.
Eroles told how she screamed when she first saw it. The odd creature, with snakey features and weird eyes, got everyone’s attention. Neighbors came to see the strange sight.
She told National Geographic: “I’d never seen anything like it. It looked just like a snake, and its eyes were so strange.”
