Vipers are a group of venomous snakes found in regions all over the world. They are characterized by their long, snake-like bodies and sharp fangs that they use to inject their prey with venom. There are many different species of vipers, but all share these common features.
Vipers are often considered to be some of the most dangerous snakes in the world because of their potent venom. This venom is used primarily to kill prey, but it can also be used as a defense against predators. When a viper feels threatened, it will sometimes strike at its attacker with its fangs extended, injecting them with venom. This venom can cause serious injury or even death if it is not treated promptly.
Vipers typically hunt small mammals, reptiles, and amphibians. They will ambush their prey and then strike quickly to inject them with venom. The venom will kill the prey almost immediately, allowing the viper to consume it at its leisure. Vipers typically eat their prey whole; however, they will sometimes regurgitate food items that are too large to digest properly.
The majority of viper species are found in tropical or subtropical regions of the world; however, there are a few species that can be found in temperate climates as well. Vipers typically prefer habitats that offer plenty of cover so that they can ambush their prey effectively. These habitats can include forests, jungles, deserts, and grasslands.
