Boomslang

Boomslag snake

Dade Thornton—The National Audubon Society Collection/Photo Researchers
The boomslang (Dispholidus typus) hunts by extending the forward part of its body motionless from a tree, its form mimicking a branch. A rear-fanged snake, it delivers its venom by chewing on its victim until the victim succumbs to the toxins.
