Crow vs rattlesnake: Who'll win?

Shivani Tiwari

Crows are renowned for their intelligence, problem-solving abilities, and adaptability.

Rattlesnakes are venomous snakes, their venom is a potent cocktail of toxins designed to disable and digest their victims.

Crows often engage in 'mobbing' behaviour, where they harass and distract predators or potential threats.

 Rattlesnakes are highly sensitive to vibrations, allowing them to detect the movement of potential prey or threats.

Rattlesnakes size can range from 0.5 to 2 meters (1.6 to 6.6 feet) in length. 

Crows are small birds, typically around 18 inches long with a wingspan of about 36 inches.

 Rattlesnakes can strike with incredible speed. This gives them a very high chance of landing a venomous bite if they are close enough.

The crow's intelligence, aerial mobility, and certain behaviour give it a significant advantage in avoiding a venomous strike.

Therefore, crows are unlikely to win in a traditional sense. But, they have a higher probability of harassing and daunt a rattlesnake.
