In this final part of a three part series on dangerous wildlife encounters I relate my personal story about a unique encounter with a mountain lion and talk about mountain lion attacks in Southern California.

I also talk about my eerie connection with the attack victims and the unusual familiarity with the areas where the attacks occurred.

Also featured is some great information on what to do if confronted by a mountain lion and some great music from the Podsafe Music Network.

Dangerous Encounters part two Rattlesnakes

Download this episode (19 min)  
In part two of Dangerous Wildlife Encounters I tell the story about an encounter with a very large snake while getting ready to go mountain biking with the kids. I also relate a real life snake bite encounter and read from an article written by the Loma Linda University Medical Center’s leading snakebite physician Dr. Sean Bush, famous for his appearance on T.V. Show Venom E.R.

Dr. Bush lets us know how to avoid being bitten and walks us through the series of steps that will happen after you’ve been bit. I mention gory snakebite photos from Justin Schwartz’s horrifying snakebite and feature links to some well photographed rattlesnakes and their look-a-likes in the Southern California Area from California Herps.Com.

To check out the links head over to my web page at www.anthonysaudiojournal.com

In memory of The Crodile Hunter’s Steve Irwin I included a link to a short video on You Tube where Steve handles a Mojave Rattlesnake, California’s most venomous snake.

Music featured in this episode is Watch Out from Matt Thorp and Survive from Polaradio. All from the Podsafe Music Network.
