Slovenian text: Warm weather has come to us, and with it its ‘fans’ – social networks and hiking groups fill with pictures of snakes. Among them, however, one of the three Slovenian vipas is the most attention-grabbing: the viper. “The viper is basically the largest among these venomous snakes.
It has a spike on top of its head and a kind of ‘zigzag’ track, so we can easily distinguish it from the others,” explains biologist and pedagogical leader at Ljubljana Zoo Irena Furlan. Viper is widespread throughout Slovenia, up to 2000 meters high, but in more sunny areas. After last year’s fatal case and this year’s new bites, many people are wondering if there are really more vipers in Slovenia.
