The Gaboon viper has a pattern that looks like dried leaves falling on the ground, giving it the perfect camouflage to hunt. This snake often comes close to the path of its prey and lies in wait for weeks. This type of hunting helps snakes save energy. The snake is equipped with thousands of vibration sensors that allow it to distinguish between approaching danger or potential prey.
When the rat approached, the snake rushed to attack. Plug in the 5-cm-long canines and inject a high dose of venom into the rat. But then, the viper Gaboon let the rat go because it knew the prey would soon die. The snake just waits and follows its venom smell to find its prey and easily enjoy it.
The Gaboon viper has highly elastic ligaments that connect its lower jaw to its skull allowing it to swallow prey larger than its own head.
Gaboon vipers have the ability to defeat large prey such as antelope, wild boar . to small prey such as mice, rabbits and birds.
The Gaboon viper has a gentle nature despite its large size and terrifying bite. If disturbed, they often emit a warning hiss before attacking.
