Abstract: An ultra-slow motion-picture sequence of a rattlesnake's strike was required to disclose detail in certain mechanical aspects of this generally unpredictable action, as part of an education film on the behavior of reptiles. The authors, assisted by the Zoo's staff, succeeded in recording this event in color at 2400 pictures per second. The assignment was completed in 8 months. The approach to the problem and the method of synchronization are described.
