Spanish term
nauyaca (see explanation)
Spanish to English
Science
Zoology
nauyaca is often used as a fairly general term, but I need a translation for a venomous snake in the central Mexican mountains. The dictionary I have says it is Bothrops atrox or common lancehead but according to my research that appears to be a Brazilian or Costa Rican coastal snake.
