Watch this video showing the recording from a Go Pro camera after it falls in to a pit of rattlesnakes. Rattlesnakes are considered more deadly than other pit vipers, though their bites are rarely fatal if medical treatment is given. Their primary defense mechanism is to hide, and then rattle and hiss which is meant to scare predators away.

Rattlesnakes exist in almost every state of the U.S., except Alaska and Hawaii.
