1968 - Its not a stick; its a tentacled snake, one of eight young born on August 31 at the Bronx Zoo -- and that bulge in its middle is a fish dinner. Named for two prongs, or tentacles, on the end of the snout, these live-bearing (non-poisonous) freshwater snakes are native to Thailand and Cambodia, where they are called stick snakes. This was the first successful breeding of the species at the Bronx Zoo. (Credit Image: (c) Keystone Pictures USA/ZUMAPRESS.com/Mary Evans)
