Frequently asked
How does a rattlesnake's rattle actually work?
A rattlesnake's rattle is made of hollow, interlocking segments of keratin (the same material as your fingernails). When shaken rapidly, these segments knock against each other to create the distinctive buzzing sound that warns potential threats to stay away.
What do rattlesnakes eat in the wild?
Rattlesnakes primarily hunt small mammals like mice, rats, rabbits, and ground squirrels. They use heat-sensing pits near their eyes to detect warm-blooded prey, then strike with lightning speed and inject venom to subdue their meal.
Where do rattlesnakes live around the world?
Rattlesnakes are found only in North and South America, from southern Canada to northern Argentina. They inhabit diverse environments including deserts, grasslands, forests, and rocky hillsides, with the greatest variety living in the southwestern United States and Mexico.
