Rattlesnakes play a crucial role as both predators and prey in desert ecosystems. They help control populations of small mammals, birds, and insects, which can prevent overgrazing and maintain ecological balance. As prey for larger birds and mammals, they contribute to the food web, supporting biodiversity. Additionally, their presence indicates a healthy environment, as they are sensitive to habitat changes.
