Dr. Jenkins sits down with Dr. Kevin Messenger to talk about snake diversity in China. A unique opportunity first brought Dr. Messenger from his home state of North Carolina to a remote region of China. Listen as we learn about China’s ecosystems and climate and how similar they are to the United States, as well as the widely variable diversity of snakes in the country - ranging from no species in the high western deserts to over a hundred species in the tropics. Finally, discover more about the natural history and ecology of Rat Snakes, Mang Vipers, and Fea’s Vipers.
