01. I am most recognized by my rear end.
02. I am native to the Americas.
03. I have a broad triangular head and vertical cat-like pupils.
04. My young are born live.
05. When I am born I have a pre-button. Every time I shed my skin I add another button.
06. I eat mice, rats, birds, and other small animals.
07. I hibernate with others of my kind in the winter. Sometimes more than 1,000 of us are hibernating in one pit.
08. I have fangs that are like retractable hypodermic needles. When I bite I use them to inject my victim with venom.
09. When I rapidly shake my tail, the buttons on it rub together rapidly to give a warning sound like a rattle.
10. My bite is seldom fatal to humans but everyone needs to learn what to do if I do bite.
What am I?
That was a bit too easy. Apart from the first question when I involuntarily shouted out 'A Bus!
ReplyDeleteIt was a rattlesnake wasn't it? I'm going to look silly if it isn't the right answer.
Now would I make you look silly? I do hope you are right.
DeleteA rattlesnake...I kind of think that one was little too easy especially with hint 9!!
ReplyDeletePerhaps number 9 pertains to something you have not thought of. Then it would be hard. Or maybe it is easy. Check in next week.
DeleteS-ss--s-snake, as in rattler.
ReplyDeleteThat is probably what someone on the prairie would guess. Check to see if you are right next week.
