Western Diamondback Rattlesnake ready to strike

[@pillmosbie3688]

Ah, this sound. This is one of nature’s most memorable “touch me and see what happens” sounds.

[@mathieu-williamsamson-lang1128]

A real "fuck around and find out" sound.

That’s got to be the most intimidating snake on the planet. Look how still his posture is while he keeps himself elevated. Truly amazing.

Yes and when he's slowly creeping up, the rattle gets more intense

[@brettking4384]

It’s really interesting that this was developed purely as a defensive mechanism against predators. When hunting prey they keep these rattles silent. They only deploy the rattle when afraid.

[@Howlingburd19]

You’ll learn that almost every snake on the planet has some sort of defense mechanism before deciding to strike/bite. Biting a threat is the last thing a snake wants to do. In the end, they just want to be left alone. Always respect potentially dangerous animals.

[@timeisnow4116]

I love snakes and loved catching small snakes in my backyard since I was a young kid. I've owned multiple snakes, mostly non-venomous and a few mildly venomous. My gf screams anytime she sees a little garter snake crossing the pavement and I always find it amusing. But I'm telling you, if I ever saw this thing out in the wild, I'm running to my mommy and never letting go.

[@chrismartindale7840]

Rattlesnakes aren't aggressive. That's the point of the rattle. It's saying give me some personal space giant creature. This is your warning.

[@87654321j]

Such a beautiful creature love how she can keep her body perfectly still whilst rattling

[@29nickoli]

What a terrifying sound

[@derciosoares1113]

go back when you hear this sound

[@cindys9491]

The "percussion instrument" that means No.

[@ItsBigBadMoneyBrad75]

29nickoli The rattle is designed to scare and warn predators away. They won't attack unless if you provoke it or scare. They're known to defend themselves.

[@greatestever7623]

Its a severe warning ⚠️ tellin you to back the fuck off THEY KNOW THEY CAN KILL YOU

[@LadyhawksLairDotCom]

It is. And I have no fear of these animals, only respect. I respect this Western diamondback A LOT. ;) The species in my area ( _Crotalus oreganus oreganus_ ) is super placid by comparison.

[@pizzasmithdude]

Very important to recognize this sound over any old locust or desert bug lol

[@Wolfgodmak]

I give props to all rattlesnakes bc they literally give you a warning to back away. Although some rattlesnakes either have short rattles and can barely make a sound or they strike on sight. Even though, watch your step around bushed, shrubbed or rocky areas and listen out because the venom is volatile.

[@chrismartindale7840]

I learned (not the hard way fortunately) in snake prone areas you should kick a log before you step over it. If a rattlesnake is under that log he will immediately start rattling.

[@ismailsimsek332]

I love the way he goes more in to attack mode increasingly

[@FrostBite1147]

I read that the rattle is used to warn any predators by saying "Stay back, I'm dangerous and I will strike." Rattlesnakes are ambush predators and when a human or large predators come along, it's their way of saying "You just scared off my dinner, thanks bud!"

[@777WillMartin]

Amazing. Notice how the 🐍 intensifies it's rattle when the cameraman moves alot lol

[@DanielNavarro-uo4sg]

The entire time he’s just like “go on….do something”

[@Kryzzzzikaa]

This has got to be one of the worlds best “touch me, go on see what happens” sounds

[@brendenseitz3347]

Fun Fact: the rattle is just the snake’s way of saying “BACK OFF, STUPID!!!” Being ambush predators they want to be as quiet as possible, so they only use the tail to scare off potential dangers

[@linkedneurons3784]

You know, ten or twelve hours of this could make a good sleeping sound. :D

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

You can see him tightening up to strike. Very cool.

That would be awesome if they had a party every time one of them earned another level on their rattle. *Adam, a juvenile DB, slithers around the community flashing his tail asking the others, “Notice anything different?? Huh??”* “Well since you have painted your rattle, I’m guessing it has something to do with that.” 😂

[@Jeff-lx4vx]

They are magnificent. I can across a 3 year old on my MTB ride yesterday. Second time in a month I’ve encountered one. I just hung out about 8 feet away, watched it and shot some short videos and pictures. It went into a defensive posture like this one. If I stayed still the rattle would slow down and stop but the second I moved it sped up again. They look so bad-ass when they are in that posture, just pure muscle.

[@iustitiamerchantxiv5872]

The sound is like scratching the insides of my ears. I like it.

[@Cee_B]

I love dangerous they are but yet they aren’t the tough guy snake. Super defensive, They’re like “welllll buddy I told you don’t touch me so come touch me and see what happens, yeh test your luck”😂 such a super awesome animal probably my favorite reptilian!

[@heartofgold6940]

The rattle started out quieter, by the end of the video it turned ear piercing. The snake slowly went into a fear/anger infuced fit, but kept its stance. Amazing
