*** About Rattlesnakes: Rattlesnakes are a group of venomous snakes predominantly found in the Americas, known for the distinctive rattle at the end of their tails. This rattle is composed of interlocked segments made of keratin, which create a rattling sound when vibrated to warn potential predators of the snake’s presence. These reptiles are part of the Viperidae family, which is distinguished by a set of long, hollow fangs that are used to deliver venom. Their diet primarily consists of small mammals and birds. Rattlesnakes use their keen sense of heat detection, via pit organs located between the eyes and nostrils, to locate and strike prey. Conservation efforts are crucial as several rattlesnake species are threatened due to habitat loss and human interference.
