Reference Code: 1.0 CB10 Bothrops moojeni
Species: Brazilian Lancehead
Bothrops moojeni
Sex: Male
Locale: Sao Paolo, Brazil
Comments: This species of lancehead was named in honor of Joao Moojen, a mammologist at the Museu Nacional in Rio de Janeiro. It occurs in semiarid or seasonally dry tropical savannas of central and southeastern Brazil, and ranges into eastern Paraguay, northern Argentina, and eastern Bolivia. It typically reaches a total length of 160 cm, and possibly up to 180-230 cm. B. moojeni seems to have close affinities with B. atrox, with whom it may be conspecific. Like many other members of this genus, B. moojeni can be very defensive, striking from long distances and seemingly tossing their entire bodies toward the intended target.

This particular male is very greenish in coloration, and has the yellow tip of the tail. The female is much more brownish, and lacks the yellow tail tip.
