    A rattlesnake is a dangerous snake of the Americas. On the end of its tail it wears hard, dry rings. When it feels threatened it shakes that tail, and you hear a rattle — a warning to stay back, not a way to bite you from far away. The bite itself can make a person very ill, because the snake pushes venom through its teeth. They prefer rocks, desert, and dry country more than city streets. The English name is simply rattle plus snake: the snake that rattles. Though actually, a quiet rattlesnake is still a rattlesnake; the rattle is a warning, not the definition of when it is dangerous.
