Vipers are venomous snakes belonging to the Viperidae family (consisting of roughly 150 species). They are characterised by long erectile fangs, which are folded back when not in use. They also have triangle-shaped heads with a distinctly narrower neck. The broad areas of the head house the venom glands. Their eyes have irises like those of a cat. Being 0.3–3 m long, vipers feed on small animals, which are injected with venom and then followed until they die.

a viper is a large venomous snake that is found all over the world with many different variations in species... they can generally be identified by their triangular head and the pit between the eyes.. it is also a common name for snakes that are part of the viperidae family. they are broken down into a few sub famlies with the most commonly known ones being the croctilinae and the viperinae sub families. the most common of those are:

Croctilinae family:
Rattlesnake

Viperinae family:
Gaboon Viper (which has the longest fangs of all snakes)

It is a snake that lives in the jungle. It is HIGHLY poisonous.
You can see them at your local zoo.
