The Killer of the Scorching Sands | Nebula Plus

In the deserts of the Southwest, there's a strange green rattlesnake lurking in the open sandy plains. Armed with one of the most unique venoms in the western hemisphere, this is potentially the worst snake bite in North America. But what is the true nature of the Mojave rattlesnake? In this episode of Beyond the Backyard, I'm headed on an adventure into the Sonoran Desert to find out! My name is Spencer Hoffman. I’m a biologist and filmmaker from North Carolina and my goal is to find the most extreme life forms in the world—from the strangest, to the deadliest— and capture the stories of how their insane lifestyles help them to survive on our Weird Planet.
