The Ethiopian mountain adder is a large venomous viper that lives only in Ethiopia. It has a broad head and striking geometric patterns along its back. Scientists knew very little about it for many years, and it is still being studied.1

It has been found in forested areas west of the Rift Valley, including a forest clearing in an old coffee plantation and the grounds of a brewery in a forest town. In the east it was found in high grassland near a rocky stream. It has been collected at altitudes of 1,700 to 2,800 metres.1

Its venom was essentially unknown until recently, so its toxicity and make-up are still poorly understood. It is assumed to cause at least some of the bites reported in the densely populated areas where it lives. The venom can be neutralised by SAIMR antivenom.1

Local people regard it as very dangerous. The only well-documented bite involved a herpetologist from Texas in 2009, who was bitten on the finger by a young captive snake and survived.1

In the one living specimen studied, it was less irritable than the puff adder and was not inclined to strike, but it hissed when teased and struggled furiously when restrained.1

The first specimen known to science was a road kill on the east side of the Rift Valley in Ethiopia.1

2

In 1995, the species was known from only three specimens.1

3

In 2007, an exporter transported 20 of these snakes to the United States.1

4

In 2014, the San Diego Zoo became the first U.S. zoo to successfully breed the species in captivity.1
