Interested in learning more about Massasauga Rattlesnakes and other species at risk in the Georgian Bay Biosphere? Here is a link to our website: www.stateofthebay.ca/our-spec...
We have Western Massasauga rattlesnakes just west and north of where I live here in Texas . They are small but very grouchy and their rattle sounds like a buzz, like a cicada .
It's good to know if you find yourself up hiking/camping their habitat, Georgian Bay area, Manitoulin Island, South of Sudbury. Living and being a long time hiker in the area I've yet to see one, perhaps I just haven't noticed any.
@@keeneyeful I remember in the 90’s my grandpa shot and killed one at the cottage. 25 years later I’m thinking why the hell he would do that. I understand we were kids and they were worried but still, he should have just called the mnr.
Canada is similar to the UK in its low number of venomous snake species. The UK only has one, the adder, whereas Canada has 3, but this is the only one in eastern Canada I think.
