Yes, they swallow it...
They don't. Either it fits in their mouth in one bite or they don't eat it.
No. Rattlers are much too small to be able to eat a deer, even if it's just a fawn.
They kill with one powerful bite to the temporal bones of the skull. They bite down on the prey's throat, right on the jugular, and that basically suffocates the prey
you bite it!!1
I can eat two in one bite. Try it and post on youtube
Rattlesnakes are poisonous because that is their evolutionary adaptation, which makes it easier for them to kill other animals, either to eat them or to avoid being eaten by them. It has been speculated by biologists that the poison of rattlesnakes is particularly useful for baby rattlesnakes, who are too small to kill other creatures very easily without the use of venom. Adult rattlesnakes might well be able to survive simply on the basis of their long teeth.in one way yes and another no. If u get bite by one from the waist down u r ok and from the waist up u can die from the strong poison
i eat one bite of pizza or gravy and feell real full after that bite. what is going on? ”
Their main diet consists of mice and rats.Timber rattlesnakes are carnivores, so they eat mice and rats but they have been known to go for larger things, such as other snakes.a timber rattle snake eats prinarily rodents, birds, and lizards.
Two of the three species found there, eastern diamondback, and timber rattlesnakes are protected.
Yes, many birds can and do eat snakes. Generally, birds are prey animals and the snakes would be the predators. All snakes are carnivores (they eat meat) and all of them have evolved various forms of prey detecting, tracking, capturing, and killing mechanisms. The type and size of prey that any given snake will pursue, kill and eat is directly related to the size of the snake. Snakes do not pursue or kill prey that is too large or otherwise unsuited to swallowing whole (snakes cannot chew or tear their food). While most birds are omnivores, many like the raptors (eagles and hawks, for example) are almost exclusively carnivores and they actively hunt, kill, and eat live prey, including snakes. Raptors are known for eating essentially anything they can kill (they can tear apart their dead prey, making for easier swallowing of a larger animal), so most raptors would likely eagerly consume a snake if given the chance to catch and kill one. Hawks and eagles are known to kill and eat snakes, even venomous rattlesnakes. The Greater Roadrunner, a member of the cuckoo family that is indigenous to the Southwestern region of the US, is famous for not only eschewing flight in favor of running along the ground (while avoiding the infamous, albeit dim-witted, coyote of cartoon fame), but in its ability to kill and eat snakes. It is reported that more than one Greater Roadrunner will cooperate together in order to kill and then eat a large snake, including venomous species like rattlesnakes.
If the birds ate the rattlesnakes, their only source of food would disappear. This would cause the birds to starve to death.
No. Rattlesnakes consume their prey whole, and any human would be too large to swallow. They are actually quite shy creatures and try to avoid humans as much as possible. However, many are sufficiently venomous to kill a human and will strike to defend themselves if they feel threatened. If you ever see one, don't panic, but do keep plenty of distance. It's far more scared of you than you are of it. On the other hand, rattlesnake meat is a delicacy served mostly in the southern, particularly southwestern, part of the United States. So while rattlesnakes don't eat humans, humans have been known to eat rattlesnakes.
