The highly unpredictable and aggressive Blue Viper catches its prey. Found in Indonesia, this venomous, island-dwelling snake is an aggressive predator, with its tendency towards fight over flight making it an intimidating presence in the streets of Bali, where it accounts for one of the most common causes of venomous bites.
