BOTH: Whoa!
(Rattling) BOTH: Whoa!
Um, Martin?
So, what do you do when you're face-to-face with a venomous rattlesnake with one inch fangs that can strike in the blink of an eye and is attracted to movement?
Don't move, bro.
(Rattling) See ya!
Ha!
Phew!
Now that was a close-up look at one awesome snake!
You can say that again!
How about that rattle?
It's made of special loose scales that rub up against each other to make that rattling sound.
And it's that rattle that makes the rattlesnake the most polite snake!
Polite?
How is a rattlesnake polite?
Well, he always rattles you a friendly warning before he strikes and sinks his venom-injecting fangs into your arm.
Or your face.
And you know, when I was face-to-face with this guy, I had a real-close look at how his face is packed with incredible sensory powers.
Sharp eyes that can see well in the daylight.
Nostrils that have a good sense of smell.
And a tongue that flicks in and out, tasting the air, making that good sense of smell great.
