CHECK OUT THE RATTLE ON THIS SNAKE. Rattlesnakes are a group of venomous snakes of the genera Crotalus and Sistrurus of the subfamily Crotalinae ("pit vipers"). There are 32 known species of rattlesnake, with between 65-70 subspecies, all native to the Americas, ranging from southern Alberta and southern British Columbia in Canada to Central Argentina. Rattlesnakes are predators who live in a wide array of habitats, hunting small animals such as birds and rodents. They kill their prey with a venomous bite, rather than by constricting. All rattlesnakes possess a set of fangs with which they inject large quantities of hemotoxic venom. The venom travels through the bloodstream, destroying tissue and causing swelling, internal bleeding, and intense pain. Some species, such as the Mojave Rattlesnake, additionally possess a neurotoxic component in their venom that causes paralysis and other nervous symptoms. The threat of envenomation, advertised with the shaking of the rattle, deters many predators. However, rattlesnakes fall prey to hawks, weasels, king snakes, and a variety of other species. Rattlesnakes are heavily preyed upon as neonates, while they are still weak and mentally immature.
Ryan is messing around with a rattlesnake, or actually he saved it's life by getting it out of the middle of the road.
Don't mind me, I'm on the phone ... Anyway, sorry for the poor quality video, but I just wanted to quickly show the effect that a venomous snake can have on one of it's own species. This one was bit by a slightly larger animal in the head. As of the uploading of this video, the snake is still alive and appears to be recovering.
