Green Pit Viper

I spotted two green pit vipers on our journey. It is also known as the Bamboo Pit Viper. I think it is the laziest creature I have ever seen, because even after 6 hours, it didn’t move an inch!

I came to know the reason later. The green pit viper can camou age so well and it doesn’t want to give itself away. It will wait for the prey to come close to it. It does not want to spend its energy for food by moving.
