Southern Pacific Rattler surprised me while scrambling up a ravine
I was scrambling up a rocky, brushy creek bed when I turned and noticed this juvenile rattler chilling behind a stone barely three feet away 😬 Looks like some stuck shed on the tail was muting its rattle as it shuffled off in warning pose - good reminder that you really gotta WATCH out for them, not just listen 🐍
