Grootbos Foundation Students Meet a Puffadder

Recently, Grootbos Foundation students were introduced to a puffadder in a controlled environment, allowing them to learn about and appreciate snake behaviour in its natural habitat. Unfortunately, many snakes are killed, and sometimes people are harmed, due to a lack of understanding.

It's important to remember that snakes are not dangerous if left alone and observed from a safe distance. They play vital roles in the natural ecosystem and food chain of the fynbos.

This unspoiled ecosystem is what draws humans to this beautiful part of the world. By fostering mutual respect, we can ensure that all species coexist peacefully. Let's celebrate the incredible wildlife around us!
