Crotalus polisi
Crotalus polisi, or the Horsehead Island speckled rattlesnake, is a species of rattlesnake from Isla Cabeza de Caballo, Baja California, Mexico. The species is named after the late Gary Allan Polis, an arachnologist and desert food-web ecologist from the University of California after his death in the capsizing of his research vessel in 2000. As with all rattlesnakes, it is venomous.
