Vipère souterraine, "Atractaspis aterrima" (Vipéridé), Gabon. Vipère terricole, longue de 52 cm, qui se déplace dans les galeries naturelles. Ce genre de vipéridé, très venimeux, a la particularité de posséder des crochets, débordant en arrière quand sa bouche est fermée, qui lui permettent de frapper de côté.
