ID 118799341 © Mgkuijpers | Megapixl.com
The spider-tailed horned viper Pseudocerastes urarachnoides is a species of viper endemic to western Iran which was described in 2006. The head looks very similar to that of other Pseudocerastes species in the region, but the spider-tailed horned viper has a unique tail that has a bulb-like end that is bordered by long drooping scales that give it the appearance of a spider. It is waved to lure birds.
