Photographer Captures Amazing Shot Of Snake Hidden In The Sand

A photographer traveled to Namibia to capture well-camouflaged snakes that exclusively live in the sub-Saharan African country. Marisa Ishimatsu captured magnificent photos of a Peringuey’s adder who are perfectly adapted to hide themselves in the soft sands of the Namibian desert.

Ishimatsu went with a group from Europe and the United States who wanted to find all of the dwarf adder species that inhabit Namibia. There are six species of viper in the country. "Like my friend, most of my vacations are spent looking for snakes and other wildlife all over the world so searching for these animals in Namibia sounded like an excellent time," she says.
