   Newborn rattlesnakes at a Colorado "mega den" in the U.S. are making their live debut.

   AP reports: "Thanks to livestream video, scientists studying the den on a craggy hillside in Colorado are learning more about these enigmatic — and often misunderstood — reptiles. They’re observing as the youngsters, called pups, slither over and between adult females on lichen-encrusted rocks."

     @ScienceDesk I really like snakes, but even I find the live stream of the den a little creepy.
