Although fewer than a dozen people in the United Sates die of snakebite each year, human misunderstanding has led to exaggerated tales of rattlesnake ferocity and to wholesale destruction that has depleted the population of many species. Illustrated with more than 250 dramatic original colour photographs depicting not only fangs and rattles but also intricate patterns and extraordinary camouflage, "Rattlesnake" traces the evolution and behaviour of the 83 living species of rattlesnakes - from East Coast timber rattlesnakes to California's desert-dwelling sidewinders to South America's neotropical species.
