Urutu pit viper

Bothrops alternatus

24-06-19 © J. Simón Tagtachian

Going thorugh the records of this viper we have received several photos during 2019. Twice in Janueary, three times in March, twice in April, six times in May and only once in June. This individual was small-sized and the swelling indicates it has recently eaten.

The great number of records demands prudence and attention from us when we walk along the paths.
