Posted by: psilocybe at Wed Nov 2 01:08:11 2005 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by psilocybe ] You question is the right answer...non-venomous (and non-rattlesnake venomous) species are not mimicking rattlesnakes by vibrating their tail...after all, many species of snakes that are not even in the same hemisphere as rattlesnakes (being that they are only a new world snake) vibrate their tails, therefore mimicry is out of the question. Rattlesnakes just went a step further evolutionarily speaking than other snakes in that instead of simply rattling their tails on the ground, they developed a rattle to produce a much more distinct warning. | ||
