- The Pinnacle of Snake Evolution -
The most incredible, venomous viper in the World!
- Watch in HD -
In May 2018 a small team of the . traveled to Iran in a quest to find the most incredible snake species on Earth: the spider-tailed viper (Pseudocerastes urarachnoides). After many hardships and long, tiring days they were able to track down this snake of legend.
The spider-tailed viper is considered a ’pinnacle’ in snake evolution for various reasons! They are a perfect example of extreme niche specialisation.
Little is known of this extraordinary viper. They are rare, hard to track down and even then, easily overlooked. There are not many treaths to this species other than wildlife trafficking. Although they are being targeted by wildlife smugglers... their remote habitat, dangerous location and vigilant wildlife officers keep many at bay.
