The Bushmaster is a venomous snake living in the rainforests of Central and South America. It is one of the world’s longest snakes, with some individuals measuring over 12 feet, snaking across the dense undergrowth of the rainforest.
The Bushmaster has a scalation pattern ranging from 23 to 37 rows of keeled dorsal scales wrapped around it. These scales allow the snake to blend seamlessly into its forest environment.
As one of the world's pit vipers, the Bushmaster possesses heat-sensing pits between its eyes and nostrils, allowing the nocturnal snake to track prey in the dark.
Small mammals and birds comprise the Bushmaster's primary diet, and the snake employs a surprise attack strategy. It lays motionless in wait before striking with unexpected speed.
The Bushmaster also uses a unique hunting gimmick called "caudal luring," where it wriggles its tail to imitate a worm, drawing unsuspecting prey closer.
The venom of this type of snake is a potent blend of neurotoxins and hemotoxins that can kill humans. However, it prefers to save its venom for prey, resorting to aggression toward humans only when it feels threatened.
