Researchers are asking the public to help them study a 'mega-den' filled with hundreds, if not thousands, of rattlesnakes using a live video feed.
An intimate new livestream is giving scientists a closer look into the lives of rattlesnakes, which are historically challenging to study. Positioned to face a massive 'mega-den' filled with hundreds, if not thousands, of prairie rattlesnakes wedged between rocks somewhere in northern Colorado , the stream is available to watch on YouTube so interested members of the public can observe the creatures themselves, too, and even contribute to the research effort.
'This livestream allows us to collect data on wild rattlesnakes without disturbing them, facilitating unbiased scientific discovery,' said Emily Taylor, a biological sciences professor at Cal Poly who leads Project Rattle Cam, in a statement.
