The horseshoe pit viper is a venomous snake that lives only in the Western Ghats mountains of southern India. It has a pale horseshoe-shaped mark on the back of its neck, which gives it its common name. It is special because its natural range is very small, possibly the smallest of any pit viper confirmed from India.1
