Description
|
|
|
|
Today, small populations of timber rattlesnakes (Crotalus horridus) quietly inhabit parts of Rutland County in Vermont, and Warren, Washington, and Essex counties in New York; because the species is endangered, following decades of ruthless bounty hunting, the exact locations of established dens in this area are a closely guarded secret. Naturalist Jon Furman shines a new light on this maligned and misunderstood species, clearly explicating the timber rattlesnake's biology and describing what happens and what to do when one bites. This is an accessible and engaging account of contemporary fieldwork and first-person interviews with herpetologists and old-time bounty hunters, with historical and contemporary illustrations that bring these reptiles and their world to life.
