Desert Horned Viper-
This snake has horns that can fold against its eyes to protect it against sand.
The snake's scales are center-ridged so they scrape up the morning dew, providing the snake with a minimal water source.
The snake's horns also give its head an irregular silhouette, which provides camouflage.
