Island of The Snakes

摘要

As the leader of a specialized team of snake hunters based on Guam, biologist James Stanford was used to getting calls at odd hours. Early in the morning on 20 March 2005, his cellphone rang. On the line was a worried official with the Division of Fish & Wildlife on Saipan, one of the Northern Mariana Islands, some 200 kilometers away. He urgently needed Stanford's help.
