Never afraid of a fight, the vipers of the Arizona desert have fiercely defended their home and remained encamped there for hundreds and thousands of years against any predator that might come their way. Vipers are much more territorial than any other creature and want to live in the same den their entire 35 year life span which their parents and grandparents most likely spent as well before them. Over the last few years however, housing development and rising human populations have dislodged many snakes from their desert dwellings and have periodically clashed with the townsfolk, eventually dwindling the reptile population down to near extinction levels.
