The image is a close-up of a snake coiled up on the ground. The snake appears to be a rattlesnake, with its body facing towards the right side of the image. Its head is turned slightly to the side, and its tongue is flicking out as if it is about to strike. The body of the snake is a light brown color with darker brown spots, and it has a rattle-like pattern on its skin. The background is a rocky surface with small pebbles scattered around. The image is taken from a slightly elevated angle, looking down on the snake.
