🐍 THINK THIS IS JUST ANOTHER SNAKE? THINK AGAIN… 👀🌿
Meet the Fer-de-lance (Bothrops asper) one of the most fascinating and misunderstood snakes found in Costa Rica! 🇨🇷🔥
Did you know? 👇
⚡ The Fer-de-lance uses heat-sensing pits to detect warm-blooded prey, even in complete darkness.
🌙 These snakes are mostly nocturnal hunters and play a HUGE role in controlling rodent populations.
🌿 Despite their dangerous venom, they are an important part of Costa Rica’s ecosystem and biodiversity.
📍 They can be found in rainforests, plantations, and lowland tropical areas across Costa Rica.
