The Darevsky's viper is a critically endangered snake (IUCN category CR C2b) distributed only in Armenia's south-western part of the Javakheti Ridge.
The key determinant of viper existence is availability of flat stone plates which create optimal ( ... )
limate for vipers living in harsh highland conditions. Snakes live here all year round and use the spaces between slabs for hibernation and shelters. Land use for agriculture (hay grounds, crop lands and animal husbandry) and high selectivity of the species for habitats (subalpine meadow on elevations 2300-3000 m) are the principal threats to survival of the Darevsky?s viper.
