The Nose-horned viper (Vipera ammodytes) is one of the most venomous snakes of Europe (it lives mostly on Balkan peninsula). It is the first venomous snake species we found together in the wild and we have it in our Living Zoology logo. Nose-horned vipers have long fangs and their bite can potentially kill a human. This viper is very beautiful! Our friend David from the USA came to visit us in Europe and his main target snake species to see was of course the Nose-horned viper! Join us on the trail of this venomous snake (Poskok in Croatian language) in Croatia! We found 9 species of snakes, so be ready for an adventure full of snake encounters!
