Roadrunners are known to kill and eat rattlesnakes .
Rattlesnakes generally lie in wait in a sheltered location, such as under a bush or log, and wait quietly for prey to come into range of their strike. If a prey item approaches close enough the snake will strike and inject venom. Once the animal is overcome by the venom, the snake will follow its scent trail and swallow it. Sometimes they will also enter burrows of small animals looking for food.
While rattlesnakes try to avoid human confrontations, they are frequently attracted to human habitations as, where there are humans, there are almost always rats and mice upon which the snakes feed. In areas with large numbers of rattlesnakes, it is not uncommon to find them near the homes of humans.
