A rattlesnake. The historical, pre-Columbian interpretation is that the eagle represents the sun god Huitzilopochtli and the snake represented wisdom and had connections with Quetzalcoatl. A different interpretation from Father Diego Duran changed the legend which has the eagle, which represents good, triumphing over evil, represented by the rattlesnake.
