Rattlesnake Fun Fact: A fun fact about rattlesnakes is that their iconic rattle is made from modified scales at the tip of their tails. Each time a rattlesnake sheds its skin, a new segment is added to the rattle. When vibrated, these hollow segments knock against each other, creating the distinctive buzzing sound that serves as a warning to potential threats!
