Puff Adder ! ! ! It is always awesome to see these heavily built, bulky snakes in their natural habitat. They always look so menacing... This species is very common throughout South Africa. They are slow moving, well camouflaged ambush hunters... and they are very seldomly seen in their natural habitat. This species is of medical significance. Bites should be considered as life threatening and immediate medical attention is advisable. Bitis arietans, Overberg, South Africa. #canon #canonmacro #macro #ishootwithorms #bionerds #biodiversity #planning #surveys #support #snake #snakes #snakesofinstagram #reptile #reptiles #reptilesofinstagram #adder #puffadder #bitis #bitisarietans #venomous #southafrica #wildlife #nature (at Overberg)
