The snub-nosed viper is a small venomous snake with a characteristic upturned nose. It lives on the Iberian Peninsula and in northwestern Africa.
The snub-nosed viper differs from other vipers by its strongly upturned nose. It helps maintain balance in nature by eating rodents and serving as prey for birds and mammals.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
