Snakes On A Super Science Show

The video explores research on rattlesnake venom, highlighting its local adaptation to overpower local squirrel defenses. The study reveals significant differences in venom activity and resistance across populations, challenging the theory that prey animals should mount stronger defenses. The findings suggest that coevolution is complex, with animals adapting their molecular arsenals based on local needs. The video concludes with humorous exchanges about fake snakes and spiders.
