Aku tak pernah kenal legenda tentang ular ni sehingga aku dengan member sekerja terserempak dengan ular ni di hutan sebelah rumah aku.Ingatkan ular biasa.Kecik je,panjang tangan aku lebih kurang.Aku start kuis ular tu pakai ranting.Dan terperanjat beruk bila ular tu lari macam pusingan roda.Aku dengan member pun kejar.Ular tu berenti dan aku kuis lagi untuk kepastian.Ular tu lari macam tu gak.Ternganga aku dengan member tu.Macam kartun.Dalam fikiran aku,mungkin ada spisis ular yang macamni kot aku jer yang tak tau.So jadi cerita gelak-gelak kosong macamtu jer la.
Lepas bertahun,baru la aku tau ular yang aku jumpa tu memang satu mitos yang belum pernah dibuktikan.Itu pun bila ada forumer dalam Cari ni lekehkan aku bila aku cakap aku pernah jumpa ular macamni ( aku bukan bukak thread,just menyampuk dalam benang orang).Jadi start hari tu baru aku sedar ular yang aku jumpa tu luarbiasa.Aku try google.Dan ni antara info yang aku dapat.
Hoop Snake
 Sightings of hoop snakes have been reported since colonial times in North America and for at least the past century in Australia. This snake grasps its tail in its mouth and rolls after its prey, thereby achieving great speed, especially when going downhill. Hoop snakes have been clocked going over 60 m.p.h. At the tip of its tail is a highly venomous stinger, making this a creature to be avoided at all costs. It is the only species of snake known to have a stinger on its tail, and this stinger is so poisonous that even if it strikes a tree, the tree will instantly wither, turn black, and die.
If you should encounter a hoop snake in the wild, the best defense is to run as fast as you can and hope to find a fence to leap over. The hoop snake will have to uncoil to get through the fence, thereby slowing it down. Some have reported that diving through the hoop of the snake will cause it to run away. This, however, has never been verified.-Sumber dari museumofhoaxes.com
The hoop snake is a legendary creature of the United States, Canada and Australia.[1] The hoop snake appears in the Pecos Bill stories; although it is his description of hoop snakes with which most people are most familiar, stories of the creature predate those fictional tales considerably. Several sightings of the hoop snake have been alleged along theMinnesota-Wisconsin border in the St. Croix River valley and in Wake County in North Carolina and in Kamloops, British Columbia. According to folklore, the distinguishing feature of a hoop snake is that it can grasp its tail in its jaws and roll after its prey like a wheel,[2][1] thus looking somewhat like theouroboros of Greek mythology, or Tsuchinoko (a legendary fat snake that can roll like a wheel) in Japan. In one version of the myth, the snake straightens out at the last second, skewering its victim with its venomous tail. The only escape is to hide behind a tree, which receives the deadly blow instead and promptly dies from the poison.[3] The hoop snake is mentioned in a letter from 1784 (published in Tour in the U.S.A., Vol. I, p. 263-65. London):[4] “ | As other serpents crawl upon their bellies, so can this; but he has another method of moving peculiar to his own species, which he always adopts when he is in eager pursuit of his prey; he throws himself into a circle, running rapidly around, advancing like a hoop, with his tail arising and pointed forward in the circle, by which he is always in the ready position of striking. It is observed that they only make use of this method in attacking; for when they fly from their enemy they go upon their bellies, like other serpents. From the above circumstance, peculiar to themselves, they have also derived the appellation of hoop snakes. | ” |
Sightings are still occasionally reported, even though the existence of the hoop snake has never been accepted by the scientific community. Naturalist Raymond Ditmars placed $10,000 in trust at a New York bank for the first person to provide evidence of a hoop snake.[5] Some have suggested that is a distorted description of the sidewinder of the American southwest, or of mud snakes, which will occasionally lie in a loose hoop shape.[3][6] It is also possible that the hoop snake is an embellishment of actual instances of snakes swallowing their own tails. Photographic examples of this are readily found on the Internet today. - wiki
