When good animals take out the power grid

A bull snake caused a power outage in parts of Pierre Wednesday night when it made its way into the equipment at a substation. (Story here.) It reminded me of the time in Juneau when an eagle dropped a deer head into a power line, taking out the power to a good portion of town. (Story here.)

Unfortunately, the snake did not survive the incident.
