Did you know?


  • Rattlesnakes have a highly evolved warning system. The rattle and hissing serve a single purpose, to warn others.
  • As the rattlesnake grows and can strike stronger and father, more segments of the rattle are added, giving the warning system greater strength and capacity to match the growth of the snake.
  • Rattlesnakes cannot hear airborne sounds, so its hissing is only useful for warning potential predators. Its lung has a large capacity for air, making it very capable of emitting a loud or long hiss as the situation warrants.
  • The triangular head and unique diamond on its back can also be a warning signal. The rattlesnake will coil its body to protect itself from harm and to also prepare to strike if a predator gets too close.  
  • The rattlesnake has poisonous venom that is painful, but not always life threatening if treated quickly.
