Rocks

The rocks in this area are very important, specifically to the snakes and frogs. Snakes often use the rocks to hide under or build their homes below it. Rocks form a convenient hiding place for the snake while it stalks its prey. They also burrow beneath them as temporary homes. Frogs use the rocks as places to hide because they blend into the rock’s surfaces.
