Horned Viper at Saharan Desert

The southeastern fringes of Morocco, where the Atlas Mountains dissolve into the stony hamada plains, dune fields, & scattered acacia scrub of the Saharan Desert, offer photographers a chance to encounter the Horned Viper on its own terms. This transitional desert edge suits the species well, & patient observers exploring the region in May stand a good chance of a sighting. Those joining the Fennec Foxes & other Moroccan Wildlife holiday will find this rugged, sun-baked terrain forms a fitting backdrop for images of the viper amid its stark surroundings. It's a rewarding subject for anyone keen to document the quieter, reptilian side of Morocco's desert wildlife.
