Golden Lancehead Pitviper on Ilha da Queimada Grande aka Snake Island

Golden Lancehead is a genus of highly venomous Pitviper that can be found nowhere else but on a Brazilian island of Ilha da Queimada Grande. Even though the name of the island translates as Burnt Island, it is better known for its name of Snake Island. The reason being – it is said that there are as many as 5 extremely dangerous Golden Lanceheads per square meter on Ilha da Queimada Grande, which makes the island the most dangerous and the most uninhabitable place on Earth.

This amazing photo above is of Golden Lancehead – a rare and endangered species of pitviper whose poison can kill a person within minutes – hunting their only prey that is available to them – birds. Because Golden Lanceheads own Ilha da Queimada Grande entirely, no other mammals can be found on the island so the snakes feed on migratory birds who provide plenitude of food even for seemingly out of control population of snakes.
