Timber RATTLESNAKES in Minnesota's Bluff Prairies
Спорт
Minnesota’s most dramatic topography is in the southeast, known as the Driftless Area because it escaped the flattening effects of the last ice age. The region features steep slopes and deep valleys carved from porous limestone that doesn’t hold bodies of water, so there are no lakes. The bluff prairies are being restored to their original habitat with fewer trees and more open rocky areas that support rare wildlife like timber rattlesnakes. Host Bret Amundson is out with the DNR’s Shawn Fritcher and finds several rattlesnakes out sunning themselves after coming out of hibernation.

@@PrairieSportsman yes all timber rattlers. They dumb the nuisance rattlers a few miles from my property so we tend to see them frequently. My stepdad is also a beekeeper and they are always under hives

@@baily573that is pretty interesting about them hanging near hives. I would assume they’re after bees, but I could be wrong- do they eat the honey?
Almost stepped on one by rushford in a freshly mowed hay field.
