The rattlesnake uses the tail to warn animals of their presence. It is thought that the rattle evolved during the time when North America was inhabited by huge herds of large hoofed mammals which posed a threat of the snake being trampled. The rattle serves to notify any animal that they should probably alter their route of travel to prevent an incident that could prove fatal to both snake and mammal.
