About Rattlesnakes

Did you know this about rattlesnakes?

In one study published in the journal Biology of the Rattlesnakes, Morris rigged up a fake leg to test what happens when humans step on a rattlesnake. The results? Most of them either slithered away, froze or wriggled in place. Of the 175 stepped-on snakes, only six struck the leg’s boot and just three of them went into a coil position.
