Arizona black rattlesnake
The Arizona black rattlesnake is a venomous pit viper, a type of snake that senses heat with pits between its eyes and nostrils. It lives in the southwestern United States, mostly in the mountains of Arizona. It is special because scientists have observed it showing complex social behaviour, and its mothers care for their babies.1

Eziokwu
The Arizona black rattlesnake is the first snake species observed to show complex social behaviour.1
Adults can change colour quickly, a trick it shares with chameleons and some other lizards.1
Mothers sometimes show cooperative parenting behaviour while they stay with their young.1
Its quick colour change is likely caused by melanin moving inside skin cells, as in the closely related prairie rattlesnake.1
Like all temperate pit vipers, it gives birth to live young rather than laying eggs.1
