Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnakes will feed on both warm and cold-blooded prey and occasionally they also prey on alligator hatchlings if available. Rattlesnakes are predators who live in a wide array of habitats, including wetlands and swamps. They are good swimmers but hunting meanly frogs, birds, rodents and other small mammals. Eastern diamondback rattlesnakes kill their prey with a venomous bite. They possess a set of long fangs with which they inject large quantities of hemotoxic venom. The venom travels through the bloodstream, destroying the victim’s tissue and causing swelling, internal bleeding, and intense pain. This pit vipers are primarily active at night, but they bask in the sun during the day time as well. The threat of envenomation, advertised with the shaking of the rattle, deters many predators. However, rattlesnakes fall prey to hawks, weasels, king snakes and a variety of other species, including larger alligators. The footage was filmed by Heiko Kiera aka ojatro in 2010.
