an you imagine that just 110 kilometers from Winnipeg, the lively capital of Manitoba with a population of just over 800,000, lies one of the world’s most incredible wildlife spectacles? Each spring, tens of thousands of red-sided garter snakes emerge from their limestone dens, shaking off the long grip of the harsh Canadian winter. These snakes slither in overwhelming numbers, driven by a primal instinct to mate before disappearing into their summer habitats. The sight of them coiling and writhing in the sun is nothing short of breathtaking, drawing in both curious tourists and dedicated wildlife researchers from around the globe. Witnessing so many snakes in one place is truly mesmerizing and an unforgettable experience for anyone brave and lucky enough to see it.
