Rattlesnakes are reptiles found in the United States and Mexico.
Rattlesnakes are named for their tails. When the snake is in danger, it shakes its tail as a warning. The noise the tail makes sounds like a rattle.
Rattlesnakes can have a brown and beige pattern on their bodies. This pattern helps them blend into their desert habitat. Small animals may not see the snake waiting to catch them.
Rattlesnakes have needle-sharp fangs and extremely poisonous venom.
