Description
Xinqiang Song and co-authors model where the Szechwan rat snake may live now and under future climate in a 2023 study. This rare, at-risk snake lives only in one part of China, in the same hills as giant pandas.
The team used seven known snake sites and eleven land and climate factors in a MaxEnt model. The best habitat sits near one mountain and a panda release base, about a tenth of the park area. Distance to streams and slope mattered most by far. Future runs show how the range may shift. Park staff get a focused guide for guarding this snake.
