Nature is Amazing. Watch Eastern Indigo Snake Hatching at the NC Zoo

Check out the video of Eastern Indigo snakes hatch at the NC Zoo.

ASHEBORO, N.C. — Warning, some of you won't be able to unsee this and some will watch multiple times. It involves snakes. Nature is an amazing thing. Check out the video of Eastern Indigo snakes hatch at the NC Zoo. 

The Zoo posted video of their Facebook page Wednesday evening. The post said the snakes were very cautious of life outside of their eggs, so they kept peeking out to check their surroundings. The hatching process took a few days because of this.

The post goes on to say "this threatened species are only found in the wild in parts of Florida and southern Georgia, and they are part of The Association of Zoos and Aquariums' SAFE program (Saving Species From Extinction).
