In Pursuit of the Wild CocaCola - I - A Mother and Hatchlings

This is a very rare photograph of a female CocaCola Carbonatus spp. Classico
with her hatchlings newly emerging from the mound in which she deposited
the eggs. Upon reaching maturity the females greatly enlarge in size
and become translucent. They can be very dangerous when they have young
and have been known to become highly agitated, charge, and spray beverage
under high pressure into the face of the intruder.

1/1000s f/8.0 at 13.9mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
