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

永远不要摸、抓或逗弄野生动物，即使是很小的，即使它看起来在睡觉或已经死了。
给它留出空间。如果遇到它，保持冷静，慢慢后退，让它走自己的路。

值得了解

事实

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

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

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