RATTLESNAKES INDIGENOUS TO CANADA?!

When I pulled over into a rest stop in Savona BC, this was the picturesque view..(see photo).

However, off to the side, it came with a warning sign, “Rattlesnakes in the Area.”, watch your step, etc…

Rattlesnakes in Canada?! Cool, I had to go looking because I had no idea or I had completely missed that particular class in school years ago. I went looking, but no luck. When I did a little research, Canada has 3 types of rattlesnake:

1. the western rattlesnake in arid western grasslands,
2. the timber rattlesnake,
3. the massasauga rattlesnake in southern Ontario.

Cool! For me, no rattlesnakes, just this beautiful view in Savona BC.
