Bothrops aff. atrox (Linnaeus, 1758) View in CoL “ Jararaca ”
(Figs. 9.7 and 23.1)
Recorded only in few localities in the state of Ceará. It occurs in altitudes above 600 m elevation. As other pitvipers of the Bothrops atrox complex, it occurs in moist forested areas, in relictual plateaus ( Loebmann & Haddad 2010) in Ceará State. It is very common in slopes in riparian forest of near streams that descend from the plateau, in Crato (CN pers. obs.). It has terrestrial habits, is nocturnal, and feeds mostly on small mammals.
