The Desert Viper is a species of snake found primarily in arid regions of North Africa and the Middle East. Known for its distinctive coloration, it typically has a sandy or brownish hue that helps it blend into its desert surroundings. This adaptation is crucial for hunting and avoiding predators. Desert Vipers are primarily nocturnal, hunting at night when temperatures are cooler. They are venomous and use their fangs to immobilize prey, which mainly consists of small mammals and lizards. Their unique habitat and behavior make them an important part of the desert ecosystem.
