Cámara web observa cientos de víboras de cascabel en 'mega madriguera' de Colorado

Docenas de ellas se arrastran y deslizan una encima de otra.

Y ahora hay una cámara web para que cualquiera pueda observarlas a través de internet en cualquier momento, incluso de noche. Una “mega madriguera” con hasta 2.000 víboras de cascabel no es el programa favorito de mucha gente. Pero es un auténtico espectáculo para los científicos y otros entusiastas de las serpientes, cuyas observaciones están ayudando a ampliar el conocimiento sobre estos inusuales reptiles cuya mala fama es inmerecida.

Se llaman viboreznos y, a diferencia de casi todos los demás reptiles, no nacen de huevos, sino que nacen vivas. También a diferencia de otras serpientes, las madres de víbora de cascabel cuidan de sus crías, las protegen de los depredadores y las resguardan con su cuerpo. Y en ocasiones incluso cuidan de las crías de otras serpientes. “Las víboras de cascabel son muy buenas madres. La gente no lo sabe”, afirma Taylor.
