Rattlesnake video

I was backing up some files today and came across the Fox 4 News clip about our rattlesnake relocation project from a few years back.  I thought some of the people involved might like to see it again (George, Jen, Rebecca and William are all highlighted). And if you're not familiar with the project, it's a nice summary. A quick update: the relocated population settled in nicely and the snakes have done quite well in their new home since their translocation.  This approach, which involved moving an entire social group of animals as opposed to single snakes, has since served as a conservation model for other studies.
