Rattlesnakes in Danger: Human Activity Forcing Inbreeding Crisis | WION Podcast

A shocking new study has revealed that human activity is putting rattlesnakes at serious risk by forcing them into inbreeding. Over 1,000 eastern massasauga rattlesnakes in Michigan were studied across 15 years, and researchers found that roads, farmlands, and urbanisation are blocking their natural paths. This isolation prevents them from finding new mates, leading to reduced survival rates and reproductive issues. Scientists warn that even small disturbances like a single road can isolate rattlesnake populations, creating a grim survival scenario for these already threatened reptiles. Could human expansion push rattlesnakes closer to extinction?
