词组 hoop snake
释义 hoop snake
noun
a mythical snake that holds its own tail and rolls AUSTRALIA
A tale told to impress and frighten gullible visitors. An early example of the story (though not the term itself) can be found in J.S. James, The Vagabond Papers, 1877.
  • Hoop snakes also exist in Tasmania but, to my knowledge, are limited to the north-west coast near Sisters Beach. The Tasmanian ones are quite specialised in that they live in sand dunes and use the sloping sand to gain the momentum they need to roll down. — Wordmap (www.abc.net.au/wordmap), 2003
