Rattlesnakes are known to prey on small birds and mammals such as rats and mice. But it is not common to see them feeding on alligators, which are too dangerous for most snakes to even approach. But rattlesnakes are opportunistic feeders and they will attack, kill and eat a small baby alligator, killing their prey with a venomous bite. All rattlesnakes possess a set of fangs with which they inject large quantities of hemotoxic venom. The venom travels through the bloodstream, destroying tissue and causing swelling, internal bleeding, and intense pain. Rattlesnake eats alligator was filmed by Heiko Kiera aka Ojatro in South Florida in 2014.
