Vipers on the Ground 🐍🕵️♂️
- Use camouflage to blend with rocks and leaves
- Strike with precision when prey passes nearby
- Feed mostly on rodents, frogs, and occasionally large insects
Interaction & Coexistence 🌿🤝
- Rare direct encounters: dragonflies stay high above, vipers stay low
- Dragonflies help control insect populations, indirectly benefiting vipers by reducing competition for prey
- Both species indicate healthy environments
