Montivipera kuhrangica, commonly known as the Kuhrang mountain viper (named after a mountain they have been found on), is a species of viper endemic to Iran.[1][2] Like all other vipers, it is venomous.
M. kuhrangica can be distinguished from other Montivipera sp. in many ways, such as their relatively high head scale count as well as distinctly strongly projected supraocular scales.[3]
