Template:Short description Template:Subspeciesbox
Vipera berus bosniensis, the Balkan cross adder[1] or Bosnian viper,[2] is a venomous subspecies of viper[3] endemic to the Balkan Peninsula.[4]
Geographic range
It is only found within the Balkan Peninsula, particularly the Herzegovina region of Bosnia and Herzegovina, hence its common name.[4]
Taxonomy
McDiarmid et al. (1999) follow Golay et al. (1993) and recognize V. b. bosniensis as a subspecies of V. berus.[5] However, it has been considered a full species in recent literature.[4]
