Venomous Viper

An Arabian horned viper digs itself into the desert sands of the United Arab Emirates. This picture wasn't so much the result of luck as it was of determination. Your Shot photographer Nimit Virdi was on a trip with friends, intent on finding snakes and reptiles in the desert. He says, "We scoured the dunes for traces of a distinct pattern left behind by these beautiful reptiles or watching our every step to find a snake hiding in the sand trap for unsuspecting prey."
