The Secret Life of Snakes

They are among the most hated and feared animals on the planet - only few people recognize their beauty.

This documentary features some of Europe's most stunning species, like the European adder, the nose-horned viper, the dice snake, the ringed snake and the Aesculapian snake.

After a winter safe in burrows, sometimes in bundles of hundreds, the spring's warmth brings them back to life.
