This rattlesnake sure knows how to pick a ride!He made a ~400km (~250 mile) trip across the Canadian province of British Columbia on a ferrari. Plus he gets to be chauffeured back to the exact location of his home thanks to being microchipped as part of a snake survey to determine how wildfires in BC have affected wildlife. What a lucky break after an unexpected journey!
"A very unique rescue!
Just last week, our Support Centre Helpline received a call about a snake spotted inside a Ferrari dealership. To our surprise, a photo determined it wasn’t a local Garter Snake, but a Northern Pacific Rattlesnake!
Wildlife Rescue dispatched a Rescue and Transport volunteer who safely brought the snake to our friends at Dewdney Animal Hospital Ltd. in Maple Ridge for an assessment. Dr. Adrian Walton and his team discovered the snake had been microchipped for a research survey which means they know exactly where to take this snake home! With the help of local authorities, this visitor will soon be back home to the Nk’Mip Desert.
A huge thank you to everyone involved, especially Dr.Walton and his team for taking in this exciting patient and ensuring their safe return home!"
