Dwarf Reed Snake
(Pseudorabdion longiceps)

Found in parts of Southeast Asia, the Dwarf Reed Snake is a small and fairly unremarkable looking snake — until it feels threatened! When in danger, it tucks its head, stiffens its body into a rigid loop, and literally rolls away like a wheel to escape predators, as seen in the gif below — like a real life hoop snake!
