Puff adders are one of the deadliest animals.   They bite humans with their venomous fangs, and inject the poison inside their prey.

Like some other snakes, Puff adders rely on camouflage.

Once, a Kenyan puff adder gave birth to 156 young! This was a record-breaker, as it was reported to be the most babies born of any snake.  Newborn baby puff adders can be 12.5cm to 17.5cm.

They feed mostly in the night and their prey includes mammals, birds, amphibians and lizards.

This is a video about puff adders.
