There are four habu species on Okinawa, two native and two introduced species, that can be identified by their coloring of either yellow-green and black, or light or dark brown and black. Habus are also venomous, nocturnal and can be found in grassy farmland, caves, tombs and rock walls. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Hailey R. Davis/Released)
