It has a very wide range, being found from North Africa to just within the Arctic Circle and from Great Britain to Pacific Asia.〔 The name is possibly derived from the Latin words ''vivus'' and ''pario'', meaning "alive" and "bear" or "bring forth"; likely a reference to the fact that most vipers bear live young.〔Gotch AF. 1986. ''Reptiles -- Their Latin Names Explained''. Poole, UK: Blandford Press. 176 pp. ISBN 0-7137-1704-1.〕 Currently, 23 species are recognized. ==Description== Members are usually small and more or less stoutly built. The head is distinct from the neck, of triangular shape, and covered with small scales in many species, although some have a few small plates on top. The dorsal scales are strongly keeled, the anal scale is divided and the subcaudals paired.〔
