Viper found dead in swimming pool filter in Paphos, Cyprus

A large viper was found dead inside a swimming pool filter in Paphos, Cyprus. The venomous snake, identified as a Macrovipera lebetina, was discovered by maintenance workers while inspecting the pool's filtration system. Experts warn that pool equipment often becomes a deadly trap for wildlife. During hot weather, animals seek water and coolness, leading them to approach human settlements and become ensnared in artificial structures.
