In Brian's thread about his dog being bitten I mentioned Michigan's rattlesnakes. Some call them the Black Rattler, some the Massasagua, but in southeast Michigan we're up to our butts in them. About a meter long and definitely poisonous, they're fortunately shy and not that aggressive, but they have killed and can be a threat to animals that get too close.
