    Great sharpness and detail on this image. I especially like the way the background is blurred out so effectively. Posted 12 years ago

The Western diamondback rattlesnake

Crotalus atrox, the western diamondback rattlesnake, is a venomous rattlesnake species found in the United States and Mexico. It is likely responsible for the majority of snakebite fatalities in northern Mexico and the second-greatest number in the USA after ''C. adamanteus''. No subspecies is currently recognized.
