The next portion of his lecture concerned snakes. Among the behaviors he discussed, eating was a predominant one. Why? Because any amphibian that can eat a cow or human definitely has an evolutional advantage. In Dr. Greene’s discussion of the eating process he demonstrated an exercise that the audience could do. It helped explain the difference between common amphibian’s(frog or lizard) lower jaw bones and snakes’. The exercise highlighted the “extra link” that allows snakes to swallow large objects and identified it to our human shoulder.
Speaking more about his own studies he explained the tracking technology involved in observing rattlesnakes; his studies were primarily focused in the Chiracabba(sp?) Mts. He has been tracking one of the snakes for nine years and has gained detailed knowledge of the lifestyle of this species. Even more astounding is that he has been tracking amphibians for most of his life and providing people with this knowledge through teaching and writing. I enjoyed the lecture and am glad I went.
