Persian horned viper (Pseudocerastes Persicus)

Описание: Persian horned viper (Pseudocerastes Persicus)
I found this beautiful viper over the altitude of 800 meters. The sense of isolation and wilderness underscores the difficulty in encountering such a rare creature in its natural habitat.
There is currently no specific antivenom for the Persian horned viper (Pseudocerastes Persicus). Treatment for bites typically focuses on supportive care, pain management, and monitoring for complications, as the venom can cause significant local and systemic effects. It's crucial to seek medical attention immediately if bitten.The Persian horned viper makes a hissing sound by expelling air through its glottis, a specialized opening in its throat. When the snake rapidly forces air out, it can create a distinctive hissing noise. This sound is often produced when the snake feels threatened, serving as a warning to potential predators. The combination of the hissing with its distinctive physical features, like the horns, helps to enhance its defensive displays. #herpetology #herping #snake #snakevideo #snakes #photography #nikon #macrophotography #discovery #nature #nationalgeographic #wildlife #cnn #bbcearth #natgeo #persianhornedviper #nature #mountain #photography #wildlife #nationalgeographic
