Adder

Adders are animals that appear in The Lion King fanfictions.
== Information ==
Puff adders are stout and usually about thirty-nine inches in length, though some specimens have been documented as being seventy-five inches long. Some sexual dimorphism is present within the species, as males are larger than females and have longer tails. Depending on geographical region, puff adders will have dark bands and bars on their heads; the head itself is yellowish-white with varying dark patches. Irises can be gold or gray. The main body color ranges from yellow, brown, orange, or reddish-brown with a series of up to twenty-two dark bands, some of which are present on the tail. Puff adders often have a dusty appearance due to being flecked with brown-and-black. The belly is white or yellow with several dark spots. Like most snakes in the viper family, puff adders have a triangular head.
The puff adder is known to be the most widespread snake in Africa, found in most of the continent and in the Arabian Peninsula, where it is located in Yemen and Saudi Arabia. With the exception of true deserts, rainforests, and tropical alpine habitats, it lives in any ecosystem. It is a very aggressive and highly venomous species, having caused the most snakebite fatalities in Africa in part due to occuring in urban areas. Although it is sluggish, the puff adder is skilled at camouflage and can go at high speeds when agitated. Puff adders are also adept swimmers and tree climbers. When faced with a threat, it will coil, hiss, and either slide back or strike at a swift speed. The force of a puff adder strike and the penetration of its fangs is so powerful that it can instantly kill prey because of the physical trauma alone. Rarely, the snake will grip its victim before often returning to striking position. Puff adders are nocturnal, and females will give birth to many children.
