Celebrate World Snake Day today. Koalas and snakes share habitat and are threatened by many of the same issues including habitat loss, climate change, and disease. Negative attitudes toward snakes may be the biggest barrier to their conservation. Save koala habitat to help snakes https://t.co/oZuiPoKbGr
