A bull snake, also known as the gopher snake, is a nonvenomous snake species found in North America. It is a relatively large snake, growing up to six feet in length. The bull snake has a distinct pattern of dark blotches on a light background, which helps it blend in with its surroundings. It is known for its aggressive defensive behavior when threatened, often hissing loudly and mimicking the rattling sound of a rattlesnake. Despite its intimidating behavior, the bull snake is harmless to humans and plays a beneficial role in controlling rodent populations. It is often encountered in grasslands, prairies, and open woodland areas where it preys on small mammals, birds, and eggs.
