Tread With Caution – Every U.S. State’s Deadliest Denizens Finally Revealed
Rattlesnakes in Arizona
The Mojave Rattlesnake is the most dangerous animal in Arizona and possibly Nevada, Utah, and Mexico. Their fangs carry the most potent rattlesnake venom, which can cause vision problems, difficulty breathing, nausea, and even death without proper treatment. Particularly defensive when they feel threatened, they are known for their buzzing rattles.
If you hear a rattling sound near a pale green snake with a large triangular head, don’t approach it. Arizona is home to 12 other species of rattlesnakes, and it’s best to stay away from all of them to avoid a potentially lethal encounter.
