• Giant rattlesnakes lock in wild dance on California street as bite cases climb (nypost.com) — Two large rattlesnakes were recently filmed twisting in a combat-style “dance” on a Thousand Oaks street, startling a local commuter and highlighting increased snake activity. Statewide, officials say rattlesnake bites are up about 20% this year after a warm spring, with a recent serious bite in Santa Clarita underscoring the need for caution in yards, trails, and neighborhood streets.
