Snakebit in Franklin Canyon

The Mojave rattlesnake, sometimes referred to as the Mojave green, is a highly venomous pit viper found in the southwestern United States and central Mexico. It has what is considered one of the world's most toxic venoms. The Mojave rattlesnake can grow up to four and a half feet long. Their color can range from different shades of brown or pale green, depending upon their habitat. A dark diamond pattern runs along their backs. Their color enables them to blend well with their surroundings for protection from predators, such as coyotes, eagles, hawks, owls, and falcons. But they are far from helpless when encountering a potential adversary. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/in-the-wild/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
