The high-mountain copperhead is a venomous snake from the asp family. It lives in cool mountainous regions of southeastern Australia and tolerates low temperatures well.
The high-mountain copperhead differs from other aspids by its ability to live in cold highlands and its dark body coloration. It regulates the population of frogs and small animals in its ecosystem.
