The Asp Viper is a venomous snake found primarily in the Middle East and parts of North Africa. It is known for its distinctive triangular head and slender body, which can reach lengths of up to 70 centimeters. The snake's coloration varies, often featuring shades of brown, gray, or olive, providing effective camouflage in its natural habitat. This species is primarily nocturnal and prefers rocky or sandy environments. The Asp Viper feeds on small mammals, birds, and lizards, using its potent venom to immobilize prey. While its bite can be dangerous to humans, it typically avoids confrontation and relies on its camouflage for protection.
