The mere mention of a rattlesnake strikes fear into the hearts of many people. Although these shy and cautious aggressors prefer to flee rather than attack, experts consider rattlesnakes the queens of the snake world for a reason. In this film, Dr. Bruce Mine, an experienced herpetologist and rattlesnake lover, sheds light on their bizarre and curious behavior. It turns out that these ferocious creatures live in the same burrows as turtles and other animals! Here is an exciting story that will dispel the myths that have long surrounded this dangerous predator, and paint a portrait of a fearless hunter with amazing talents.
