A Different View On Rattlesnakes Worth Reading

I have just been reading this article that is well worth having a look at.

A study has commenced in Vermont on the Timber Rattlesnake of western Rutland County.

It was interesting to read that this snake was added to the endangered species list in 1987 and up until 1971 there was even a bounty paid to kill these animals.

There are also some interesting comments by biologists and herpetologists on these animals and there behaviour around humans that are well worth considering.

This is a big part of the reason why Working with Wildlife started - if, by providing easy to understand information on snakes and their behaviour, we can help people better understand why snakes do what they do when confronted by humans, it is our hope that this increased level of understanding will help reduce the number of people bitten by snakes while at the same time also reduce the number of snakes killed senselessly by people simply because of a lack of understanding.
