Faculty and students working to remove rattlesnake species from endangered list

There are almost 20 species of snakes that are native to Michigan, but the eastern massasauga rattlesnake is the only venomous one. Due to snake fungal disease, the species slithered its way onto the U.S. Endangered Species List in September 2016. Jennifer Moore, professor of biology, and a team of students have been conducting ongoing research in an effort to save the species.
