Welcome to an exploration of the western diamondback rattlesnake (Crotalus atrox), one of North America’s most recognisable reptiles. This unit introduces you to the anatomy of this remarkable predator, from its venom system to how it reproduces. You’ll see how every part of its body is perfectly designed for hunting in the deserts of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico.
We’re studying rattlesnakes, which are venomous and give birth to live young. Unlike most of the world’s 3,000 snake species, rattlesnakes have special fangs, venom glands, and rattles that make them unique predators.
