Diamondback
Crotalus atrox

**********************

Map & range not to any scale.

***********************************

One Diamondback, right in the middle of trail I was on. After photographing him I gave him a very wide birth by waking off the path I was on and leaving him be. Look at the bulge in its body on the left side, looks as it had just eaten some thing.

**************************

This Diamondback is referred to as a Coon-tailed rattler here in Arizona

It's a Western Diamondback

That's because of it's black & white tail just before the rattlers.

******************************************

Here's a better view of the Coon-tail plus I believe it has 11 rattles.
