和大家聊天, 才知道我拍的蛇居然是响尾蛇, 拍的红叶居然是 posion oak。我怎么偏偏和有毒的东西结上了缘！:)
在网上看有关Rattlesnake的介绍， 吓得魂飞魄散, 实在是后怕...
今天和同事聊了一下， 得知 Baby Rattlesnake 是更可怕的， 因为它们还没学会dry bite! 今天再看蛇的圆眼睛， 有丝丝的寒意！
晚上找出SAS Survival Handbook: How to Survive in the Wild, in Any Climate, on Land or at Sea 在看！想想也许只有坐在家里看书， 看电影，写博客， 做饭， 绣花最安全！
Approximately 8,000 people a year receive venomous snakebites in the U.S., 9-15 victims die. (FDA)
25% of adult rattlesnake bites are dry, with no venom injected. (Brown, 1997)
Rattlesnakes can only strike a distance equal to 1/2 their own length
