À propos de cet audio

 One of the most brilliant biologists of our time, and a charismatic daredevil, Dr. Joe Slowinski had been obsessed with venomous snakes since his youth.

In 2001 Slowinski led a team of young scientists deep into the wilds of Burma on a final tragic expedition. Immediately after being bitten by the many-banded krait, the deadliest serpent in Asia, Joe knew his life was in grave and imminent peril.

Thus began one of the most remarkable wilderness rescue attempts of modern times, as Joe's teammates kept him alive for 30 hours by mouth-to-mouth respiration.

The Snake Charmer is at once a brilliant biography, a pulse-pounding adventure story, an exotic travel book, and a fascinating introduction to the bizarre world of snake science.

I found this story to be instantly captivating and I was drawn in. I already owned the book and was quite familiar with the story. Listening to it again for the first time in years I was able to imagine being there myself. The narration was wonderful and I may have learned that I have been mispronouncing many Latin names incorrectly but confidently for years.

I would think that reptile people are likely to enjoy this story,

Thank you

Almost every serious snake keeper has the same origin story. Dinosaurs and garter snakes
