In a recent study led by herpetologist Scott Boback, researchers simulated rainfall to observe prairie rattlesnakes collecting water, revealing their remarkable adaptability in arid conditions.
Boback and colleagues noted that snakes not only drank off their own bodies but also took sips from nearby neighbors, highlighting social behavior in water collection.
The study involved nearly 100 rattlesnakes and showcased the rain-harvesting tactic effectively, giving deeper insight into their survival strategies in challenging environments.
