The emerald horned pit viper is a pit viper, a type of snake with heat-sensing pits between its eyes and nostrils. It lives only in the mountains of eastern Mexico, where its bright green body helps it blend into the forest. It is special because it is found nowhere else in the world.1

E phela
Mountains of eastern Mexico: east-central Hidalgo, west-central Veracruz, north-east Puebla and north-central Oaxaca1
Amerika Leboya
Lapeng
It lives in montane cloud forest, humid pine-oak woodland and pine forest with secondary vegetation (plant growth that has regrown after earlier disturbance). It is mostly terrestrial, so it spends more time on the ground than in trees.1
