The Western diamondback rattlesnake feeding

The Western diamondback rattlesnake (Crotalus atrox) is an important species for desert ecosystems in the southwestern USA and northern Mexico. This common pit viper controls rodent populations. We were recently lucky to observe one Western diamondback rattlesnake being busy controlling the numbers of rodents in its home range 🙂 #snake #venomousanimals #rattlesnake #rattlers #crotalus #diamondback #snakevideo #snakelovers #venomous #pitvipers #wildlifedocumentary #wildlifephotography #animalkingdom #animalvideos #animals #reptiles #reptilekingdom #reptileenthusiasts #serpent
