Numéro d’image : 12077137
| Atheris ceratophora,the Usambara Eyelash Bush Viper,is an endemic to Tanzania. It is an inhabitant of mid-elevation,humid mountain forest of the Ussambara and Udzungwa Mountains. They are predators of small rodents,lizards,and frogs. Most individuals are smaller than 2 feet in length as adults. Science does not know the function or purpose of the enlarged scales above the eyes,known as ³superciliary scales.² Atheris ceratophora is the only arboreal viper to have superciliary scales in Africa. This is an interesting example of convergence in form or ³convergent evolution² with the Central American eyelash viper,Bothriechis schlegeli. Also a small arboreal mountain forest pit viper,B. schlegeli sports superciliary scales and dawns bright shades of red,yellow,orange,and green | |
