Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake
National Geographic refers to this snake as “The largest venomous snake in North America. Some reach 8 feet in length and weigh up to 10 pounds.” The eastern diamondback rattlesnake will not attack humans unless threatened – in fact, bites are triggered when someone taunts or attempts to capture the snake. Oh, but before they strike, they give one final warning – it shakes its tail violently. Yeah, that tail isn’t for the show alone,.
Western Diamondback Rattlesnake
The western diamondback rattlesnake, which is typically found in the United States’ southwestern areas, is next. Reportedly, in northern Mexico, it is responsible for the majority of snakebite fatalities and also the largest number of snakebites in the United States. Uhh, no thank you hashtag?
