I had reports from farmers that they had seen baby snakes and their mothers out together and I thought, this is crazy. |
This shows that behavior in snakes is more complex than we previously thought. |
We don't have a measure of abundance or population density of a single snake in Africa. We need that information to make well-founded decisions about how threatened species are and we don't have it... it's a big conservation need. |
When a human approaches the mother disappears down a hole, abandoning her young. |
