Vitória's Lancehead
Bothrops otavioi
Bothrops otavioi, also known as Jararaca-de-Vitória in Portuguese, is an endangered species of pit viper from Vitória Island, São Paulo, Brazil. It is considered one of the top 30 most endangered viper species, possibly critically. The species is named after Otavio A. V. Marques, a prominent herpetologist at the Instituto Butantan. Similarly, the English name 'Vitória's Lancehead' has been suggested for common use.
