With its cryptic coloration of emerald green and brown, the Mang Mountain pit viper seems to disappear into the foliage of its temperate rain forest habitat, in the mountains of China’s Hunan Province. The wild population is estimated at only 300-500, and their range covers less than 19 miles. Deforestation, as well as habitat alteration has had a major impact on this species. #ReptileConservation #snakestagram #SnakesOfInstagram #SanDiegoZoo
