Il pattern delle vipere è il risultato di un lungo processo evolutivo e di numerosi adattamenti, il mimetismo è un meccanismo di difesa molto importante per questi rettili, i quali possono essere predati da rapaci, mammiferi come il cinghiale (Sus scrofa) o il riccio (Erinaceus europaeus) e talvolta cadere vittima di uccisioni volontarie da parte dell'uomo. Dunque l'efficacia del mimetismo risulta fondamentale per la loro sopravvivenza, per questo una livrea simile alle tonalità del substrato sfruttato permette ad alcuni esemplari di passare inosservati. In questa immagine si può osservare una femmina dalla livrea bruno-arancione ideale per confondersi tra il fogliame nei margini di un bosco a latifoglie.
