Zer jaten du?
It mainly hunts other snakes, including its own kind, and also eats lizards and rodents now and then. After it bites its prey, it swallows the animal whole, and its flexible jaws let it swallow prey much larger than its head.1

Pozoi-ahalmena

Koska

Pozoia letaginetatik edo hortzetatik ateratzen da kosk egiten duenean.

Zer egiten du bere pozoiak?

The venom is neurotoxic, which means it attacks the nerves, and cytotoxic, which means it damages cells. Symptoms can start rapidly after a bite. The cobra can strike at a considerable range and height, and it has an immense venom yield.1

Zein arriskutsua da pertsonentzat?

Arriskua pertsonentzat: HilgarriaMunduko animaliarik arriskutsuenetako bat.

The king cobra is not considered aggressive and usually avoids humans. Attacks usually happen when an individual is cornered or accidentally exposes itself, or when people come close by chance.1

Albiste ona: medikuek badute sendagai bat (antipozoia) edo tratamendu bat honetarako.1

Zer egiten du beldurtzen denean?

When threatened, it spreads its neck flap, raises its head, hisses or growls loudly, and sometimes charges.1

Kosk egiten badu

  • After a bite, prompt antivenom is needed, so get to medical care as fast as possible.1
  • Eutsi pertsona geldi eta lasai, kendu eraztunak eta gauza estuak, eta joan ospitalera azkar: antipozoia da tratamendua.

Egon seguru

  • Ez ukitu, ez harrapatu eta ez zirikatu inoiz animalia basati bat, txikia izan arren, eta lo edo hilda dagoela badirudi ere.
  • Utzi tartea. Bat aurkitzen baduzu, egon lasai, egin atzera poliki eta utzi bere bidetik joaten.
  • Batek kosk egiten badizu: egon lasai, egon geldi, deitu zure larrialdi-zenbakira (112, 000, 911) edo joan ospitalera azkar. Gogoratu nolakoa zen, argazki batek laguntzen du.

Ez dabil zure atzetik. Pozoia janaria harrapatzeko edo bere burua babesteko erabiltzen du, eta askoz nahiago du ezkutatu. Seguru egoteari buruz gehiago
