Wildlife Hazards on Campus While the Lamont Campus is a very
safe place as far as crime is concerned, there are a number of
"natural" hazards of which you should be aware. The purpose of
this document is to alert you of these wildlife hazards so that
your visit here on the campus is a safe and pleasant one. Also,
importantly, please be sure to share this information with any
visitors you have to the campus so that they too are aware of
these hazards. Thank you. (Note click on the associated link to
view a photograph of the particular hazard.) Snakes - There are
4 species of snakes which you may encounter in your travels
through the campus. You should know that snakes being cold
blooded will often seek the warmth of the sun on cool days, and
will similarly seek the cool of the shade when the temperatures
get hotter. Remember too that snakes can and do climb, so be
mindful of them in shrubs and trees. Also, occasionally, snakes
have entered buildings, so please do not leave exterior doors
open, and report snake
