The black-faced lancehead is a venomous pit viper, a type of snake that has heat-sensing pits between its eyes and nostrils. It lives in parts of Brazil, Paraguay and Bolivia, mostly in the Cerrado, a large region of grassland and savanna. Its venom is also being studied for possible medical uses.1

Xibaar

1

Its venom has been researched for the possible therapeutic effects of its toxins, meaning they might one day be used in medicine.1

2

It is at home in cool, humid places, rather than the hot, dry conditions many people expect from snakes in South America.1

3

Its colours and markings can be very different from one snake to another, which makes it hard to pin down by looks alone.1

It is ovoviviparous, which means it gives birth to live young rather than laying eggs.1
