At the Academy of Sciences in San Francisco two horned rattlesnakes from the Mojave Desert are shown. The venomous reptiles have a horn like a single eye and move with a sinuous side motion making their strike direction hard to predict. A horned viper in Palestine and the Sahara shares some traits. The purpose of the horns remains unknown.
