  • Crotalinae, a subfamily of Viperidae called pit vipers
  • Water viper (Agkistrodon piscivorus, more commonly called a water moccasin or cottonmouth), a Viperidae snake (within the Crotalinae subfamily) found in the Southeastern United States<!-- Not sure this one really belongs here. It's a viperid. All viperids are sometimes called vipers. I doubt that a lot of people use "viper" (by itself) as the common name for water moccasins. -->
