The markings on its scales helps it 'blend in' to the background - making it hard to see by possible predators. The rattle on its tail servers as a warning to predators that the snake is able to defend itself if attacked.
Beavers have evolved adaptations such as webbed hind feet for swimming, a broad flat tail for dam-building and communication, and large teeth for chewing wood. These traits have been favored by natural selection as they provide the beaver with advantages for survival and reproduction in their aquatic habitat.
A prehensile tail.
The tail of a comet is made up of dust and gas. The dust tail is composed of particles that reflect sunlight, while the gas tail is made up of ionized gas that is pushed away from the comet by the solar wind.
The tail of a comet is shaped by the solar wind, which pushes the gas and dust particles emitted from the comet's nucleus away from the Sun. The particles are ionized by sunlight and are then affected by the Sun's magnetic field, forming the distinctive shimmering tail.
Tail of the Sun happened in 1996.

No, the "rattle" does not have any thorns on it.

The Head, snout, and tail (rattle).
Nope - the rattle noise is caused by the last few segments of a Rattle snake's tail rubbing together - creating the classic rattle noise.
The sections at the end of their tail are hollow and loosely connected to each other. The Rattlesnake vibrates its tail when annoyed or disturbed - causing the loose sections to rub together - which we hear as the characteristic rattle.
A rattlesnake's rattle is made of leather and scales.
The diamondback rattlesnake got its name from the diamond shaped pattern on its back.
There are several species of harmless snakes that will mimic a rattlesnake. One of the more impressive is the gopher snake. They will shake their tails when they feel threatened and, if they happen to be on dry leaves, they sound just like a rattlesnake.
Some other snakes that rattle their tails to warn off potential predators include the Massasauga rattlesnake, the Western diamondback rattlesnake, and the Timber rattlesnake. These snakes use their tail rattle as a form of defense when feeling threatened.
The end sections of the tail are loosely connected - enabling them to vibrate against each other.
No, they do not have a rattle. However, they will mimic a rattlesnake when confronted and coil up and vibrate their tail. If they happen to be on dry leaves, it will make a sound almost the same as that produced by a rattlesnake's rattle
