The puff adder (Bitis arietans) is a common, highly venomous snake species found throughout much of Africa, including Kenya. It's known for its ability to puff up its body and emit a deep, low hiss as a warning, and it's one of the most common snakes in sub-Saharan Africa. Puff adders are mostly nocturnal and hunt by ambush, relying on camouflage for protection. They are found in a variety of habitats, including grasslands, rocky areas, and savannas. #enkajisafaris #tours #safari #snakes #wild #
