Are there timber rattlesnakes in Nebraska?
Yes, but only in the very southeast part of the state. Timber Rattlesnakes live in forested areas with heavy tree canopies: therefore it makes sense that they would only live in the southeast portion of the state, and not in the central or western part where the landscape is mostly prairie.
What kind of interaction do you think the prairie dogs have with the rattlesnakes?
Rattlesnakes would eat a prairie dog if they could catch it. However, if a rattlesnake approached a prairie dog colony, the prairie dog's "sentinels" would alert the rest of them, and they would hide in their holes. A rattlesnake could fit into the holes, but I don't think that snakes usually actively seek prey (they act more like a trap, waiting for prey to come to them).
