The snake species was located in India
The researchers said in their findings that they chose the name Trimeresurus salazar for the snake, though they prefer it to be commonly known as Salazar's pit viper.
The pit vipers of the genus Trimeresurus are venomous. While they are typically found throughout East and Southeast Asia, this species was located in India, researchers said. This specific pit viper manages to stand out thanks to the orange-reddish stripe found on the side of the head in males. In total, there are at least 48 species of genus Trimeresurus found in the region, according to the research findings.
