There are several species of rattlesnakes, ranging in size, color, and habitat preferences. They are primarily known for their potent venom, which they use to immobilize prey such as small mammals and birds. Rattlesnakes are pit vipers and have heat-sensing pits near their nostrils to detect warm-blooded prey, even in the dark. Conservation concerns for rattlesnakes are growing, as their habitats are threatened by human expansion and climate change, making studies and representations such as this illustration crucial for education and awareness.
