Its diet will consist mainly of small rodents.
Only a large, very large, rattlesnake could eat an adult prairie chicken. That pretty much rules out anything but a large western or eastern diamondback.
Usually, Rattlesnakes eat all kinds of insects. The Rattlesnake also will eat mice and small bunnies. (poor things ;(. )
They mostly eat green softball and Austin leafy things, prairie plants, and insects.
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).
Yes, it would, but the rattlesnake has poison.
A variety of animals, including hawks, eagles, owls, roadrunners, foxes, coyotes, skunks all will kill and eat a rattlesnake, including the Arizona black rattlesnake.
Rattlesnakes do not eat cheetahs. First of all, they don't live in the same continent, and second, a cheetah is far too large for a rattlesnake to swallow.
Pigs, especially wild pigs, will kill and eat a rattlesnake.
The diet of C. willardi includes small mammals, lizards, birds, and large centipedes. The young feed primarily on large centipedes (Scolopendra spp.) and lizards, whereas adults feed primarily on mammals and birds
No, desert tortoises are not on a rattlesnake's menu.
Yes, prairie dogs eat grasshoppers.
This depends on how big the rattlesnake is but they can eat from 10 to 15 small animals a day normally.
