EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dating back to the 1960s, showcases the intriguing and elusive Cerastes Viper, also known as the Egyptian Sand Viper. The Cerastes Viper is a small, venomous snake native to the arid regions of North Africa, including Egypt, Libya, and Tunisia. The snake's name derives from the two small horns, or 'cerastes,' located above each eye, which are unique to this species. These horns are not used for combat but are thought to serve as thermoregulatory sensors, helping the snake to regulate its body temperature in the harsh desert environment. The Cerastes Viper is a master of camouflage, blending seamlessly into the sandy terrain, making it a challenging creature to spot. In this image, the snake is shown coiled up on the sand, its body blending almost perfectly with the surrounding environment. Its triangular head and piercing eyes convey a sense of alertness and readiness, making for an intense and captivating portrait. The 1960s was an era of great exploration and discovery in the field of herpetology, and this photograph is a testament to the fascination and wonder that reptiles, such as the Cerastes Viper, continue to inspire in us. This image, with its timeless quality and intriguing subject, remains a valuable addition to any collection of natural history photographs.
