Well, here it is today's NAKED ANIMAL

THE NAKED RATTLESNAKE!!!

This is a pic of a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake (a.k.a. Crotalus atrox)

We were working in our barn and my wife (who is deathly afraid of snakes) came flying out and said she saw a snake. I devised a pole with a loop on it, and tried to catch it, when it reared up, and started unmistakeably rattling its tail.

After much perusal of various websites, i finally identified it as this rascal (it's not the one i saw, though, which was about 18" or so long (about 0.5 meters).

BTW, for those of you who might be wondering, after it started rattling at me i backed off for a second and it managed to slither away.

My wife immediately went out and boosted the stock price of the company that makes SNAKE-AWAY(tm) - some sort of horribly smelling mixture of moth balls and sulfur.
