Don't forget hoop snakes... they put their tail in their mouth, form a ring, and roll downhill.

I just recently saw a snake eat itself! He didn't roll down a hill, but it defenitly comes close!
I'll browse the net for a picture...

I think it was this myth that actually has a factual basis of sorts. The snake wouldn't put its tail in its mouth or roll down hill, but I think it went something along the lines of the snake moving in a way that made it look like it rolled horisontally. And you'll never guess what snake it is.

I looked for sources for a while, this is the best I could come up with:

At least the summary is in English. And I hope it's not an April Fool's joke.
