With his friend Wes Crowe, in July 2021 Adam Shoalts set off to search for an eastern massasauga rattlesnake in the Wainfleet Bog, one of the only places in southern Ontario where these snakes can still be found. Massasauga rattlesnakes are one of the only venomous species native to Canada. Once common across southern Ontario, persecution and loss of habitat has drastically reduced their range. Today, these snakes are only found in Canada near Georgian Bay, and two isolated, endangered populations: one outside Windsor and the other in the Wainfleet Bog. It took only a few hours of careful searching in the bog's thick, deciduous woods for Adam and Wes to locate the snake above. Massasaugas aren't aggressive, and will generally only bite if stepped on or handled. Adam photographed the snake and they left it undisturbed.
