| Summary | "Natural History of the Racer Coluber constrictor" by Henry S. Fitch is a scientific publication written in the early 1960s. The work provides a comprehensive study of the racer snake in its natural habitat, focusing particularly on its ecology, behavior, and interactions within its ecosystem. The book is significant for its detailed observations and findings, drawing upon extensive field research conducted over many years. At the start of the publication, the author introduces the racer as one of the most common snakes encountered across the United States, particularly in meadows and pastures. Fitch discusses the snake’s diet, habitats, and seasonal behaviors derived from years of live-trapping studies at various locations in Kansas. The introduction makes it clear that the work aims to address the lack of thorough studies about this common species, providing insights into its ecological role and the misconceptions surrounding its nature, particularly regarding rural perceptions that often stem from unfounded fears.
