Yeah its called "not winter"
I'm Australian. I've never heard it called that.
I mean I hear "bought by big snek".
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Warming global temperatures are dangerous for people in many ways, but they’re proving ideal for one type of animal: venomous snakes.
As Australia’s east coast experiences one of its warmest winters on record, snake season appears to have started early.
A rise in temperatures, coupled with winter rainfall, is the perfect environment for venomous snakes to become more active, the Australian Reptile Park said in a statement.
Snakes tend to “brumate” over the winter, a state similar to hibernation during which they become less active and often seek out a place to hide until temperatures start to climb again.
He also recommended people keep backyards clear of stacks of firewood and other materials which can creating ideal habitats for snakes.
As the world continues to burn planet-warming fossil fuels, and global temperatures soar, Australia’s winters have been steadily warming.
I'm a bot and I'm open source!
