Snakes on the Loose in Kyiv’s Parks
Reports of snakes sighted in a park in Kyiv have caused a stir among residents of the capital. Videos of the reptiles have been circulating on local Telegram channels, with claims that they can be spotted in Obolon at the «Muromets» park.
Experts have identified the captured snakes as grass snakes, reassuring the public that their appearance is a natural occurrence during warm spring weather. However, the Kyiv Zoo has advised against touching the reptiles to avoid any potential harm.
Animal rights activists recommend that if encountered, it is best to simply walk around the snakes without provoking them. Snakes typically do not attack unless they feel threatened, so staying calm and keeping a safe distance is key to coexisting peacefully with these creatures.
