Desert Horned Viper
Name: Desert horned viper
Scientific Name: Cerastes cerastes
Although pretty rare in Qatar, the desert horned viper, also known as the Saharan horned viper, has already been discovered in the country. It is native to northern Africa, but also parts of the Levant and the Arabian Peninsula. This viper inhabits dry, sandy areas, at elevations of up to 1,500 m / 4,900 ft above sea level. Usually, it tends to stay in areas with a temperature below 20 °C / 68 °F.
