A type of rattle snake that lives in north america. The massasauga's science name is, Sistrurus catenatus. Despite their eyes looking evil (and their hemotoxic/neurotoxic venom), massasauga are shy and tend to stay as far away from people as possible. Their rattles kind of sound like a weird cicada. It is good to not bother them, as they are a free rodent control. But you are unlikely to actually see one, as they are a rare sight. If you do see one, don't physically boop its snoot, do it in your brain.
Don't boop a massasauga.
