Eyelash Viper

The Eyelash Viper is a species of venomous pit viper in the family Viperidae. Most of these strange but attractive snakes are found in Central and South America. Their ideal habitat is primarily found in low-elevation, shady, densely forested places close to bodies of water. It's interesting to note that experts now think the viper's "eyelashes" assist it better concealing itself by making its silhouette more challenging to see while it hides among dense plant growth.

These ambush predators are exceptionally skilled hunters, despite being somewhat smaller than the majority of other pit vipers. Thankfully, they aren't particularly hostile toward humans despite their deadly nature and razor-sharp teeth. These animals mostly eat frogs, rodents, lizards, and occasionally birds, although they also eat other small animals.
