18. Eyelash Viper
Known for its unusual facial features, this is a small snake. Eyelash vipers (Bothriechis schlegelii) are small snakes that are found throughout rainforests in Central and South America and are famous for their bizarre facial features.
An eyelash viper is characterized by a set of scales above its eyes that look remarkably similar to eyelashes.
There’s no clear reason for the species to have these scales, but researchers believe they might assist in camouflaging.
