Say hello to the HAIRY BUSH VIPER! Known as 'Atheris Hispida' in the Animal Kingdom Classification System, these beautiful animals can grow up to almost 30 inches in length! These Vipers can be yellow, green, or red and are native to many different areas of Africa, including Uganda, Kenya, the Congo, etc. #CuriousFact: The Hairy Bush Viper has a 'neurotoxic' form of Venom that can be fatal to humans upon getting bitten. Steer clear of these magnificent creatures if seen! Photography by © Mark Kostich
