TITLE
An eyelash viper hunts hummingbirds.
Eyelash vipers live alone and come out at night to hunt and eat. They hunt by waiting for their prey. Sometimes they will choose one place to wait for prey and come back to it every year. This can help them find animals to hunt each time. One way they hunt is by wiggling their tail. This is meant to get prey to come closer. Then, the eyelash viper can strike!
