A few months ago, we answered a 9-year-old who wanted to know why snakes were not allowed in New Zealand, his home country (Do Snakes Belong Everywhere?). The following is our correspondence with him after he delivered a speech on this subject:
Mojave
One species of rattlesnake that we’ve wanted to see in the wild is the Mojave. While visiting Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge recently, we finally got our chance. If only we had been five minutes earlier, however, we might have seen it alive.
