Pit Viper in striking mode. The 'mountain fer-de-lance' is a new species of pit viper that was discovered on the Zongo RAP survey. It has since been described as Bothrops monsignifer. Bothrops is a genus of pit vipers endemic to Central and South America. The generic name, Bothrops, is derived from the Greek words βόθρος, bothros, meaning "pit", and ώπς, ops, meaning "eye" or "face", together an allusion to the heat-sensitive loreal pit organs.
