TreeSnake

Description:
Description: Adult male Southern African Tree Snake (or "Boomslang"), drop-for-drop the most venomous animal on the continent. Picture taken at 09h35 on Saturday, 28 April 2012, near Shelly Beach on the warm South Coast of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. He barely moved, and definitely spotted me long before I noticed him - almost directly overhead - in a small indigenous thorn tree. Date: 28 April 2012 (according to Exif data).
