| Summary |
"Poisonous Snakes of Kansas" by Robert F. Clarke is a scientific publication authored in the late 1950s. This book serves as an educational resource focused specifically on identifying and understanding the poisonous snakes found in Kansas. It aims to dispel common myths and misconceptions about these reptiles, while also promoting awareness of their ecological importance and conservation. The content of the book delves into various aspects of Kansas' poisonous snakes, including identification features, behavioral patterns, habitats, and their feeding habits. Clarke emphasizes the need for public awareness to prevent unnecessary fear and destruction of non-poisonous species. Each snake species is described in detail, outlining their physical characteristics, typical habitats, and significance in the ecosystem. The author also provides guidelines on how to differentiate between poisonous and non-poisonous snakes, information on snakebite prevention, and treatment, making it a comprehensive resource for anyone interested in the natural history of reptiles in Kansas.
