Crotalus
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.
Rattlesnakes are native to the Americas, living in diverse habitats from Southwestern Canada to Central Argentina.
It was in the reserve of Dr. Rodolfo Talice.
