IN ACTION

An expert at fending off predators by emitting a foul smell or playing dead, the grass snake is a versatile animal to have on your side. As a cold-blooded reptile, they can travel on land and water and retrieve waste from rivers and ponds in-game.

THREATS

6 out of 10 people admit to littering - a habit which puts animals like snakes at great risk. You have the ability to save grass snakes with your in-game skills, but you can save them in real life too by properly disposing of your waste.
