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 bite humans unless they are threatened; in fact, bites are triggered when the snake is taunted or captured. Oh, but before they attack, they give one last warning – it violently shakes its tail. Yeah, that tail isn’t for the show alone.
