Native to the southeastern United States, it thrives in dry, pine flatwoods, sandy woodlands, and coastal scrub habitats. This species is equipped with a heat-sensing system for detecting prey and a highly potent venom, which it uses to immobilize or kill small mammals and birds. The rattlesnake plays a crucial role in its ecosystem by controlling the population of these animals, highlighting its importance as a predator. Admirably resilient, the Eastern Diamondback also faces threats from habitat destruction and human conflict due to its perceived danger.
