Local public health officials are warning people to be on the lookout for snakes, specifically, rattlesnakes.
The City of Wichita Falls Animal Services Center’s animal control officers picked up multiple rattlesnakes this weekend in the area.
Rattlesnakes are usually not aggressive and do not prey on humans, but they can be dangerous when they are surprised or cornered. Animal services want people to make sure the public is aware of their surroundings and learn to recognize different snake species in the area.
