A female albino western hognose snake astonished onlookers when they found it lying writhing in a hoop in a water dish.
The snake, whose diet usually includes small rodents, appeared to be eating itself from the tail, and even drew blood.
Snake experts believe this behaviour occurs in sick animals that are unaware of what they are doing.
The western hognose is found throughout the Great Plains states of North America from Canada to Mexico.

Substitute the U.S. for the snake and you've got the picture. As Lobeczewski said in Political Ponerology, psychopaths are like germs that are unaware they are destroying the body that gives them life.
