🐍Golden lancehead
Die Insel-Lanzenotter (Bothrops insularis) ist eine Schlangenart aus der Familie der Vipern (Viperidae), Unterfamilie der Grubenottern (Crotalinae). Sie ist endemisch auf der im Atlantik vor dem Bundesstaat São Paulo gelegenen brasilianischen Insel Queimada Grande. Die Insel ist nur 43 Hektar groß. Erst 1921 wurde die Insel-Lanzenotter vom brasilianischen Schlangenforscher Afrânio Pompílio Bastos do Amaral (1894–1982), der im selben Jahr Direktor des Schlangenforschungsinstituts Butantan in São Paulo wurde, als eigene Art erkannt und beschrieben.
