The Kenya horned viper is a venomous snake, a member of the viper family. It lives only in Kenya, in the high central part of the Rift Valley. It is special because it is found nowhere else on Earth and is at risk from habitat loss and illegal trade.1

Ebituufu

Its range is restricted to a narrow band of Kenya's high central Rift Valley, which makes it especially vulnerable.1

In 2019, the International Union for Conservation of Nature classed it as Vulnerable.1

In 2004, Kenya proposed listing the species on CITES Appendix II, a list that controls international trade in wild animals.1
