About This Reader
The Rattlesnake is a venomous snake that thrives in desert environments. It is easily recognized by the rattle at the end of its tail, which it shakes to warn potential threats. The rattlesnake's patterned skin provides excellent camouflage against the desert landscape. It hunts small animals like mice and birds, primarily at night. During the day, the rattlesnake hides in burrows or under rocks to stay cool. Its venomous bite is used to catch prey, making the rattlesnake a formidable desert predator.
