Diet Of The Canebrake Rattesnake (Crotalus Horridus Atricaudatus): An Additional Record Aeview

摘要

-In June 1993, a radio-tagged bobwhite quail (Coliuns virginianus) and a cotton rat (Sigmodon hispidus) were recovered from the stomach of an adult canebrake rattlesnake (Crotalus horridus atricaudatus) in South Carolina. These data and a review of the literature indicate C. Horridus atricaudatus is a generalist predator that opportunistically consumes aide variety of prey. The diet consists primarily of mammals; rodents and rabbits are the most frequently reported prey.
