Native to western equatorial Africa, the Gaboon viper is the largest and heaviest of all viper species, growing up to 6 feet long and weighing nearly 30 pounds. Its wide, triangular head can span over 7 inches, housing the longest fangs of any known snake—up to 2 inches in length. These ambush predators rely on stillness and camouflage, blending seamlessly into the jungle floor with their intricate geometric patterns. Though often slow-moving, their strikes are sudden and precise, aided by potent venom and strong jaws.
