The rattlesnake has a special rattle at the end of its tail. When it shakes its tail, it makes a buzzing sound to warn others to stay away. This is the snake’s way of saying “please leave me alone!”
Rattlesnakes live in deserts, forests, and grassy fields. They eat mice, rats, and small animals. Every time a rattlesnake sheds its skin, a new piece is added to its rattle.
