Pit Vipers (sometimes called crotalines) are mostly New World vipers found in North, Central and South America; a few species are recorded from isolated areas of Southeast Asia, the Caspian region of Europe, China and Japan. Depending on the taxonomist, Pit Vipers may be treated as a subfamily (Crotalinae) of the viper family Viperidae (with "true vipers" or pitless vipers in the subfamily Viperinae), or as a family of their own, Crotalidae.
These snakes are named after their specialized thermoreceptors, heat-sensitive organs located on the head which take the form of small pits. There are approximately 22 genera of Pit Vipers in total, the largest and most familiar being the rattlesnakes (genera Crotalus and Sistrurus). Other species include the American copperhead and Cottonmouth (genus Agkistrodon) and the asian pit vipers (genus Gloydius).
