EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a rare and intimate moment in the lives of Timber Rattlesnakes - adult females with their newborn young, showcasing the incredible parental care exhibited by these venomous pit vipers. Found throughout the eastern United States, these majestic creatures are legally protected in 8 states where they occur due to declining populations caused by habitat loss and direct persecution.
Timber Rattlesnakes come in two color morphs - black and yellow, with females giving birth to live litters of 3-14 young every 3-5 years. These ectothermic snakes rely heavily on rocky outcrops for basking in the sun, making them generally mild-mannered compared to other rattlesnake species.
Photographer John Cancalosi has beautifully captured this family of snakes coiled together, showcasing their intricate patterns and textures up close. This image serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting these misunderstood creatures and their vital role in maintaining ecosystem balance.
