The Madagascar leaf-nosed snake is a medium-sized tree-dwelling snake that lives only on the island of Madagascar. It is very hard to spot because its shape and colours blend in with the plants around it. It is not venomous and is generally calm.1

Leef in

Madagascar only (endemic)1

Afrika

Tuis

It lives in deciduous dry forests and rain forests, often in plants about 1.5 to 2 metres above the ground. It is an arboreal snake, which means it spends most of its time in trees and bushes.1

Lengte

1 m (3,3 ft)1

Topspoed

omtrent 5,2 km/h (3,2 mph)

Op land, rowwe skatting

Wat eet dit?

It mainly eats frogs and lizards, including both tree-dwelling and ground-dwelling lizards. It is a sit-and-wait predator, so it waits still for prey to come close, sometimes hooding and swaying as it stalks.1

Gifkrag

Byte

Gif kom deur sy giftande of tande uit wanneer dit byt.

Wat doen sy gif as dit byt of steek?

This snake is non-venomous, so it does not inject venom when it bites.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

Gevaar vir mense: PynlikDit kan regtig seermaak, maar dit is amper nooit ernstig nie.

It is generally calm and reluctant to bite unless provoked.1

Wat doen dit as dit bang is?

It is generally calm and tends not to bite unless it is provoked.1

As dit byt

Was die byt, hou die persoon kalm en kry mediese hulp. Sommige spesies (soos die boomslang) kan ure later dodelik wees.

Bel altyd eers jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911). Dit is algemene noodhulpraad, nie mediese advies nie. Noodhulp-basiese beginsels

Bly veilig

Moet nooit aan 'n wilde dier raak, dit vang of terg nie, selfs nie 'n kleintjie nie, en selfs nie as dit lyk of dit slaap of dood is nie.
Gee dit spasie. As jy een raakloop, bly kalm, stap stadig terug en laat dit sy eie pad gaan.
As een jou byt: bly kalm, bly stil, bel jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911) of kom vinnig by 'n hospitaal uit. Onthou hoe dit gelyk het, 'n foto help.

Dit is nie uit om jou te kry nie. Dit gebruik sy gif om kos te vang of om homself te beskerm, en kruip baie eerder weg. Meer oor veilig bly

Feite

Its snout is a leaf-shaped or pointed appendage whose function is unknown, though it also helps the snake blend in as camouflage.1

Males and females look very different, a feature called sexual dimorphism, and this species is known for having an unusually high level of it.1

Its swaying and hooding, along with its camouflage, may let it look like a vine moving in the wind.1

It often hangs straight down from a branch when resting, which is an unusual resting behaviour.1
