    Nope, that's not the picture of the snake the cats found. We try to
    only use copyright free photos or other photos that give us permission
    to use them. Sometimes this means that we can't find an exact
    representation of the subject of the article, so we select a copyright
    free or creative commons image that we believe will somehow convey the
    message of the article and help the reader understand it. Since we
    could not find a picture of a massasauga with the appropriate
    permissions, we selected an image of a different snake, which we hoped
    would help the article come alive to the reader.
