Common Lancehead
The common lancehead, or Bothrops atrox, is commonly found in the tropical lowlands of northern South America. As a pit-viper, it is easily agitated and prefers to be active at night. It can, on the other hand, hunt all day, climb trees, and swim. Their venom is, without a doubt, extraordinarily lethal and fast-acting. Even with treatment, nearly all bites result in temporary or permanent memory loss. It makes me want to reconsider my health insurance coverage options.
