Title: Chordata & Reptilia & Squamata & Viperidae, Rattlesnake [Go to resource]
Description: These are rattles from the ends of the tails of two Rattlesnakes. The rattles are composed of the cast of the snake's skin which is carried at the end of the tail. When shaken it makes quite a lot of noise. One use suggested for it is to warn large animals that they might tread on it. Rattlesnakes are only found in the New World (South and North America).
