While out for a stroll in Osoyoos yesterday, photographer Greg Reely was a little spooked when he heard the distinct sound of a rattlesnake’s rattle.
But he knew it was a moment worth capturing. He recorded the creature slithering around and then shared the video to his Facebook page Greg Reely Photography.
Reely saw the rattlesnake while on the Osoyoos Canal Walkway. He noticed it was bleeding from its tail and wonders if a vehicle or another animal caused the injury.
