The facts..Simply a deadly viper, that is not to be messed with!!! It is alarming of the number of these in costa Rica, especially since they lay in wait to ambush their prey, or some unsuspecting human that is unfortunate enough to walk within their strike range. Death, and severe limb damage Statistics are quite high in the rural areas of this viper's habitat.
