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 says that her social media feeds are filled with wonderful photos of birds, flowers, and mammals — but not snakes. "It's not hard to make these subjects beautiful and welcoming," she adds. More of Ishimatsu's work can be found on her Flickr and Instagram. Or to buy a print, head to her Etsy.
