this may be hard to believe but my buddy who was my driller in my rigging days worked in venezuela a few years ago. actually it was 9/11 went down and he couldn't fly home. anyways back to the story,,,, on another rig a couple miles away one of the leasehand's went missing on night shift and everyone figured he sneaked(snuck??) away for a nap and they found a snake,,,can't remember what kind it was, that had eaten him in his sleep. how scary is that. that poor kangaroo probably didnt have a chance.

They are not native to Canada. The snakes observed are "illegal immigrants". They are usually brought over, to be sold. Rattlers often get their rattles clipped to make them look like a relative of theirs that is not venomous. These snakes then escape into the wild, and get this........they mate! Thus creating a new hybrid species that is capable of living in our extreme conditions.
