Macrovipera lebetinus lebetina
Macrovipera lebetinus is a venomous viper species found in North Africa, much of the Middle East, and as far east as Kashmir. Five subspecies are currently recognized, and one of them is the subspecies Macrovipera lebetinus lebetina which is found in Cyprus island. The pictured female was spotted crossing the road, in Nicosia mountainous area, Cyprus, and it was spotted and photographed (and rescued from the traffic) by my daughter, Eleni Krommyda Andreadi.
