>> In a similar fashion I remember the first time I encountered the sound of a rattlesnake in the wild. It was a big Timber Rattler in upstate NY and I heard it before I saw it. I had never experienced the sound live and it had that "hard-wired" effect. I froze in place despite the chills running up my spine. And I was the kid who collected snakes right and left and generally had no fear of snakes so it really surprised me.

>>> A very cool observation and discovery that's consistent with my experience, and probably others of you as well. About 15 years ago, I was jogging on a hilly trail in the East Bay. My pointer sweeping the ground around me. As he crossed the trail several feet in front of with a single bound, I instantly saw a snake, a gopher snake reveal below her leap. She paid absolutely no attention to it. For me however, I came to grinding halt with an almost neon snake against an earth background. It was like it had been silhouetted. I did a quickly processed snake identification, and deftly leaped over the snake. I so vividly remembered the event.

>>> What surprised me more than anything was how quickly I had picked up the form of the snake, and how oblivious my dog had been. How could we be so different. Well, it turns out it may be a unique inherent aspect of our primate visual systems.
