Desert Viper sent on December 14, 2025 (10:08) by Massimo Beggio foto. 25 comments, 282 views. [retina]

at 200mm, 1/2000 f/8.0, ISO 400, hand held. Namib-Naukluft Park, Namibia.

Nel cuore del deserto del Namib, uno dei luoghi più aridi e antichi del pianeta, si nasconde un predatore maestro del mimetismo: la vipera di Peringuey (Bitis peringueyi), nota anche come vipera del deserto del Namib. Di notte, si seppellisce quasi completamente nella sabbia calda, esponendo solo occhi brillanti e narici per fiutare le prede. Lucertole, gechi e piccoli roditori cadono vittime del suo agguato fulmineo e del veleno potente, che le fornisce tutta l'idratazione necessaria per sopravvivere senza una goccia d'acqua. Endemica delle dune costiere namibiane, questa vipera incarna l'adattamento perfetto all'aridità: dal colore camaleontico al metabolismo lento, resiste a temperature estreme e alla scarsità di risorse, ricordandoci la resilienza della vita nel deserto. Uno splendido incontro, anche se... capperi mi ero tolto le scarpe per godermi la calda sabbia.. anche se non letale per l'uomo, meglio evitare l'esperienza.. un saluto a tutti ! ps: più sotto una foto quando era ancora in parte sotto la sabbia..

A pretty good catch. Of course, given how it camouflages itself in the sand, there is a risk of stepping on it with an unpleasant consequence.

@Francesco: fortunately no, but if you happen not to see them because they are camouflaged and pounded where they are certainly would .. pfiuuu ! ;-)
