Kra Isthmus Pit Viper (Trimeresurus kraensis)
A new Viper species! 🚨✨
Living in the picturesque karsts of the Chumphon province of Thailand, the newly described Kra Isthmus Pit Viper (Trimeresurus kraensis) is a STUNNING snake! 🐍🌳
Limestone massifs harbour endemic species across the world and this venomous snake is another with this association! ⛰️
It is mainly active at night where it hunts other reptiles and small mammals in the humid rock-surrounded forest! 🐭
I was lucky enough to see this incredible species last year before it was given a name! Thailand has so many extraordinary snake species! 😍🐍
