Central American Bushmaster

Lachesis stenophrys

Notes:

This was found in the middle of a seven hour hike into primary rainforest at the El Zota Biological Field Station. Two of my classmates walked right past it and then I noticed it once I was standing next to it, a one-to-two feet away. Its camouflage is quite amazing considering it was nearly 7 feet long (half grown) and its head was the size of my fist.
