The Himalayan pit viper is a venomous snake that lives on the southern slopes of the Himalayas. It is special because it has been found at up to 4,900 metres above sea level, which makes it the highest living snake ever recorded. It is a shy, slow-moving snake that spends its days hidden under rocks and fallen timber.1
