Bitis arietans

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Bitis arietans is
a venomous viper species found in savannah and grasslands from Morocco
and western Arabia throughout Africa except for the Sahara and rain
forest regions. Its wide distribution, common occurrence, large size,
potent venom, and willingness to bite make it responsible for more
fatalities than any other African snake. Two subspecies are currently
recognized, including the nominate subspecies described here.
