Very curious individual, kept swimming close to the face of both me and my buddy (and i mean close, we kept backing away, and it kept touching the glass of our masks) and underneath us for a few minutes.

Red Diamond Rattlesnake (Crotalus ruber ssp. ruber)Observer
mferrDescription
I approached this rattlesnake on the trail in Limestone Canyon – the second image shows the scene as I arrived with the rattlesnake and rabbit resting a short distance from each other. The rattlesnake entered a defensive pose when my group first approached (images 3 & 4), but relaxed shortly afterwards.
The rattlesnake slowly advanced towards the rabbit, as shown in images 5 & 6. The snake approached the rabbit from the rear, and paused to look the rabbit up and down as it appeared to be deciding where to strike. There was no response from the rabbit whatsoever; it did not react to the advancing snake or attempt to escape even as the snake’s snout was nearly touching the rabbit’s back.
The snake struck the rabbit at the nape of the neck. The rabbit immediately leapt into the air, tossing the snake’s head upwards along with it, as shown in images 7 & 8. The rabbit came to a rest at the other side of the trail, about two to three feet from the snake. Both the snake and the rabbit rested in place for a moment, before the rabbit succumbed to the venom and keeled over (images 9 & 10).
The snake approached the unresponsive rabbit very slowly. It once again looked the rabbit over head to tail, and then began eating the rabbit headfirst. The rabbit was still alive at this time, and tried to kick free occasionally, but did not have enough energy to resist. Over the next 15-20 minutes, the snake dragged the rabbit a short distance up the trail to a shaded area, and fully ingested the rabbit.
