» Western Diamondback Rattlesnake (Crotalus atrox)

All the rattlesnakes I’ve met have been very chill, though that doesn’t make me respect them any less. Sometimes I think about the ones I’ve probably walked right past without noticing.

On the other hand, I’ve never met a prickly pear that didn’t want to fight me - but that’s probably my fault.
