Western rattlesnake
The Western rattlesnake is a venomous pit viper that lives across western North America, from the Baja California Peninsula in Mexico to the southern interior of British Columbia in Canada. It is one of only three rattlesnake species still found in Canada, which is why its populations there matter.1

Engeri y'okukitegeera
- Ground colour is dark brown, dark grey, olive-brown, or sometimes black or pale yellowish.1
- Large dark blotches run along the back, with uneven white edges, and are wider than the gaps between them.1
- A dark brown stripe with a white border runs from the eye to the angle of the jaw.1
- The belly is pale yellow, usually with brown spots.1
- Juveniles have clearer patterns that fade as the snake matures. The last two tail rings, at the base of the tail, are usually black.1

Its venom is both hemotoxic, meaning it damages blood and tissue, and neurotoxic, meaning it affects the nerves. In prey, it can cause paralysis, which stops the animal escaping. In people it is linked with cardiovascular effects, internal bleeding and headaches.1

Bwe kiruma
- Omuntu muleke ateetambula era ateefu, ekitundu ekirumiddwa kibeere ku buwanvu bw'omutima, ggyamu empeta n'ebintu ebinyweza, era omutwale mu ddwaliro mangu.
Bulijjo sooka kuba ennamba y'ebigwa bitalaze (112, 000, 911). Buno bulagirizi bwa bujjanjabi obusooka obwa bulijjo, si kuwabula kwa musawo. Obujjanjabi obusooka obw'omusingi
Weekuume
- Tokwatako, tokwata wadde okusoomooza ensolo ey'omu nsiko, ne bw'eba ntono, era ne bw'eba erabika nga yeebase oba nga efudde.
- Gireke n'ebbanga. Bw'osisinkana emu, beera mukkakkamu, dda emabega mpola era gireke egende mu kkubo lyayo.
- Bw'emu ekuluma: beera mukkakkamu, totambula, kuba ennamba y'ebigwa bitalaze (112, 000, 911) oba tuuka mu ddwaliro mangu. Jjukira bwe yali efaanana, ekifaananyi kiyamba.
Tekikunoonya. Kikozesa obusagwa bwakyo okukwata emmere oba okwekuuma, era kyandisinze kwekweka. Ebirala ku kwekuuma

Ebituufu
Its size depends on where it lives and on its diet. Snakes that eat lizards are much smaller than those that eat birds and mammals.1
The largest recorded Western rattlesnake measured 162.6 cm, but mainland adults often reach about 100 cm.1
It makes seasonal migrations between winter and summer habitats to follow its prey.1
Mating snakes are very sensitive to disturbance and quickly separate.1
Most females breed every two years, although about 10% breed in two years in a row.1
