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

Ukuba siyaluma

Gcina umntu engashukumi kwaye ezolile, gcina ilungu elilunyiweyo kwinqanaba lentliziyo, susa imisesane nezinto eziqinileyo, uze umse esibhedlele ngokukhawuleza.

Soloko utsalela inombolo kaxakeka kuqala (112, 000, 911). Esi sisikhokelo soncedo lokuqala ngokubanzi, asilocebiso lwezonyango. Iziseko zoncedo lokuqala

Hlala ukhuselekile

Ungaze uchukumise, ubambe okanye uqhule isilwanyana sasendle, nokuba sincinci, kwaye nokuba sibonakala silele okanye sifile.
Sinike indawo. Ukuba udibana naso, hlala uzolile, buyela umva kancinci kwaye usiyeke sihambe ngendlela yaso.
Ukuba siyakuluma: hlala uzolile, musa ukushukuma, tsalela inombolo kaxakeka (112, 000, 911) okanye uye esibhedlele ngokukhawuleza. Khumbula ukuba sasikhangeleka njani, ifoto iyanceda.

Asikuzingeli. Sisebenzisa ityhefu yaso ukubamba ukutya okanye ukuzikhusela, kwaye singakhetha ukuzimela. Okungakumbi malunga nokuhlala ukhuselekile

Iinyaniso

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
