Walser viper
KirumaThe Walser viper is a venomous snake found only in a small area of the western Italian Alps. Scientists only recognised it as its own species after genetic studies, because it looks very much like the common adder. Its tiny range makes it one of the more unusual vipers in Europe.1

Engeri y'okukitegeera
- Colour varies a great deal between individuals.1
- Many have a zigzag pattern along the back, while others have a reduced pattern of horizontal bars.1
- Some individuals are melanistic, meaning they are very dark or black.1
- Most have 1.5 to 2 rows of scales below the eye on each side of the head.1
Kitera okutabulwa ne: It closely resembles the common adder (Vipera berus), which is far more widespread. The Walser viper has more scales on the top of the head, these head shields are more often broken up, and it usually has 1.5 to 2 rows of scales below each eye, where the common adder usually has only one.1

Bwe kiruma
- Omuntu muleke ateetambula era ateefu, ekitundu ekirumiddwa kibeere ku buwanvu bw'omutima, ggyamu empeta n'ebintu ebinyweza, era omutwale mu ddwaliro mangu.
Bulijjo sooka kuba ennamba y'ebigwa bitalaze (112, 000, 911). Buno bulagirizi bwa bujjanjabi obusooka obwa bulijjo, si kuwabula kwa musawo. Obujjanjabi obusooka obw'omusingi
Weekuume
- Tokwatako, tokwata wadde okusoomooza ensolo ey'omu nsiko, ne bw'eba ntono, era ne bw'eba erabika nga yeebase oba nga efudde.
- Gireke n'ebbanga. Bw'osisinkana emu, beera mukkakkamu, dda emabega mpola era gireke egende mu kkubo lyayo.
- Bw'emu ekuluma: beera mukkakkamu, totambula, kuba ennamba y'ebigwa bitalaze (112, 000, 911) oba tuuka mu ddwaliro mangu. Jjukira bwe yali efaanana, ekifaananyi kiyamba.
Tekikunoonya. Kikozesa obusagwa bwakyo okukwata emmere oba okwekuuma, era kyandisinze kwekweka. Ebirala ku kwekuuma

Ebituufu
For a long time it was thought to be an isolated group of the common adder, until genetic analysis showed it is a separate species related to the Vipera ursinii group.1
Its genetic variety is low, which may make it more vulnerable to disturbance.1
Its range is split into two separate populations: a southern one of about 225 km² and a northern one of about 45 km².1
It lives at high altitude, between 1300 and 2300 metres.1
Omumenyi w'enfumo
Enfumo: The Walser viper is just an isolated population of the common adder (Vipera berus).
Amazima: Molecular analyses have shown it is a distinct species, related to the Vipera ursinii group.1
