The Western Diamondback Rattlesnake is a large, venomous snake found in arid and semi-arid regions of North America, from southern California to western Arkansas and into northern Mexico. It is known for its bold diamond-shaped markings and its warning rattle.
This species can grow up to 7 feet in length, though most are between 4 and 6 feet. It inhabits a wide range of environments, including deserts, grasslands, and rocky hillsides. As a predator, it feeds on rodents, birds, and other small animals, using heat-sensing pits to detect prey. Despite its dangerous reputation, it plays an important role in controlling rodent populations.
