The Russell's Viper (Daboia russelii) is one of Asia's most recognizable venomous snakes. It is famous for its striking chain-like pattern of large oval spots running down its back and for its loud defensive hiss. Despite its intimidating reputation, it typically relies on camouflage and will often remain still until it feels threatened.
