Definition
A member of the family Crotalidae, which includes rattlesnakes, pit vipers, and related venomous snakes.
Etymology
From Latin crotalum (rattle) plus the biological suffix -id (member of a group), referring to the characteristic rattles on rattlesnakes' tails.
Kelly Says
Pit vipers were named for the heat-sensing pits along their jaws that let them hunt in complete darkness—they're some of nature's most advanced thermal cameras, all wrapped up in a family named after a child's toy!
