114 | Rattlesnakes in Great Basin National Park

In this episode, Dr. Chris Jenkins sits down with Dr. Bryan Hamilton and Colton Irons to explore one of his favorite species—the Great Basin Rattlesnake. Dr. Jenkins spent nearly a decade studying this species in the Upper Snake River Plain of Idaho, while Bryan and Colton focus on the same species in a vastly different environment—high-altitude mountain regions reaching up to 13,000 feet in elevation. Tune in as they dive into the ecology of the Great Basin Rattlesnake and compare how the species adapts to these two contrasting landscapes.Read more about the Great Basin Rattlesnake Study.
