The Palestinian saw-scaled viper is a medium-sized venomous snake. It lives in dry rocky areas of the Middle East and produces a loud rattling sound by rubbing its scales.
This viper differs from related species by its strongly serrated lateral scales, which allow it to produce a loud warning sound. It is important for nature as it regulates the population of rodents in arid regions.
Legendary longevity: over 100 years. Galapagos tortoises, Greenland sharks, ocean quahogs celebrate with family once every 4 years
