An interesting story could be the following one.
I was driving with Melo in the northern part of Cres, and we drove near a place where years before (in 2014) Melo found a big black aesculapian with deformed tail.
I remembered this fact, and said to Melo: "Do you remember the aesculapian we found in this place, exacly here at this curve?"
Melo looked to that place, while I was driving away, and said: "What the hell... a black branch??! No.. maybe it's a snake!!!"
We stopped.
Exactly in the same place, at the same curve where we took and released four years before a black aesculapian, was crawling, in that precise moment, another black aesculapian, a male, of the same size of our "old" finding!
It was another specimen, I'm sure about this, with a perfect tail, but this fact is so particular and funny that the pictures of these animals are now needed!
- Year 2014
- Year 2018: same place, similar, but different specimen
