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.
