Livestreaming a “Mega-Den” With 100’s of Rattlesnakes

NATURE’S CLICKBAIT FOR 3 MORE MONTHS: RATTLESNAKES BY THE HUNDREDS IN MEGA-DEN

Every once in a while, I hear about a livestream of something happening in the natural world that is pretty effective clickbait.  Usually, it’s underwater, on a coastline, or involves already fat grizzly bears trying to get fatter.  But this time, it’s something I never thought I’d be interested in watching: a mega-den filled with literally hundreds of rattlesnakes.  Now like most of you, I have a pretty healthy fear of snakes.  I can manage to hold one for a brief moment or two.  But generally, I agree with Indiana Jones.  And even more so when it involves a venomous species like the rattlesnake.

THIS MEGA-DEN OF RATTLESNAKES IS SOMEWHERE IN NORTHERN COLORADO

But this livestream proved to grab my attention.  I mean, how often are you going to see hundreds of deadly snakes together that doesn’t involve a crazy movie scene?  And even better (or worse, maybe), this is the real deal.  I simply had no idea that rattlesnakes would gather together in what is literally called a mega-den in such staggering, slithery, scary circumstances.  This mega-den of rattlesnakes is located in northern Colorado.  It was set up by The California Polytechnic State University Bailey College of Science and Mathematics (Cal Poly).  It’s pretty high-tech and is solar powered.

FOR AT LEAST TWO MORE MONTHS, YOU CAN SAFELY WATCH HUNDREDS OF RATTLESNAKES FROM A DISTANCE

And perhaps even scarier, that high-tech solar-powered livestream camera system will be clickbait thru October!  And it’s evidently been there since May already.  But we don’t, and won’t, know the exact location of this mega-den of rattlesnakes to keep the animals safe.  But the livestream is almost as good as being there in person.  Even better, as you won’t need any anti-venom watching it on the screen.  And maybe you can help with one of the two goals: “facilitating unbiased scientific discovery” and changing the public’s perception of rattlesnakes.  The former seems achievable.  But the latter a bit harder, at least for me.
