Horridus
The Rattlesnake of North America
Timber rattlesnakes have a diamond shaped head which is set off
from their relatively thin neck.
They hibernate communally with other timber rattlesnakes and also
other species of snakes.
Timber rattlesnakes are among the last snakes to emerge from hibernation
in the spring, and among the first to retire to their winter retreats
in autumn.
Timber rattlesnakes are surprisingly calm when encountered in the
wild.
Many will sit motionless hoping that you will not see them.
