Bush Viper facts: small snakes with a big bite | Animal Fact Files

On this episode of Animal Fact Files discover some African snakes with a deadly bite and the look of a dragon. EDIT: According to A co cię To obchodzi 0:55-1:08 isn't a bush viper due to the heat sensing pits present in these snakes. Sorry we missed that! According to the photographer here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/makmachismo/15190873902 this was how the image was listed and we didn't double check. Thanks for bringing that to our attention!
