Tragic End for a Yellow Rat Snake at Mankara Railway Station #wildindia #wildlifeofindia

Tragic End for a Yellow Rat Snake at Mankara Railway Station #wildindia #wildlifeofindia
Nature and modern infrastructure often collide, and today, a tragic incident unfolded at Mankara Railway Station. A long Yellow Rat Snake (non-venomous and beneficial to the ecosystem) was crossing the railway tracks when a speeding freight train rushed past—ending its journey forever.

These beautiful creatures play a crucial role in controlling rodent populations, and their loss is a reminder of how human activity affects wildlife.

Should railway authorities consider wildlife crossings at vulnerable spots? What are your thoughts? 🐍💭
