Phil Torres Instagram – An encounter with a deadly beauty. The side striped palm pit viper, camouflaged and ready to strike any prey who happens by. Having spent years working in the tropics I have a lot of confidence in navigating and documenting forests like this, but with that confidence a humbling knowledge that tucked into any patch of green could be a coiled up danger noodle who needs some personal space.
Was unbelievably stoked to see this while out at night here in the cloud forests of Monteverde, and glad it stayed in its place so the next day I could bring @silja_torres and Atlis to see if for themselves! | Posted on 07/Jan/2024 02:48:40
