I’m fortunate to live outside the city, so my morning walks take me through beautiful hills, streams, and woodlands. Nature reminds me of life’s wonders, but it’s important to stay alert to potential dangers. Experienced hikers know the basics, like carrying water and being prepared for wildlife. Recently, I saw a photo shared by Missouri Wildlife that highlighted a hidden danger—something I never considered. The post challenged users to find a concealed object in the image, and it turned out to be a camouflaged Copperhead snake! These snakes can be dangerous, so always watch your step when hiking in areas they inhabit.
