Read the text and answer the following question!
The rattlesnake has reputation as a dangerous and deadly snake with fierce hatred for humanity. Although rattlesnake is indeed a venomous snake capable of killing human, its nature has perhaps been somewhat exaggerated in myth and folklore.
The rattlesnake is not inherently aggressive and generally strikes only when it has been put on the defensive. In its defensive posture the rattlesnake raises the front part of its body off the ground and assumes an S-shaped from in preparation for a lunge forward. At the end of a forward thrust, the rattlesnake pushes its fangs into the victim, thereby injecting its venom.
There are more than 30 species of rattlesnakes, varying in length from 20 inches to 6 feet. In the US there are only few deaths annually from rattlesnakes, with a mortality rate of less than 2 percent of those attacked.
It can be inferred from the text that ....
Not all rattlesnake bites are fatal
All rattlesnake bites are not equally harmful
Deaths from rattlesnake bites have been steadily increasing
The few deaths from rattlesnake bites are from six-foot snakes
