McMahon's viper is a small, venomous snake that lives in the sandy deserts of Balochistan, near the borders of Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan. It is well known for its habit of sinking into loose sand so that only its snout and eyes stay uncovered. Scientists have also studied a protein from its venom for its possible use against melanoma, a type of skin cancer.1

Relatively few data are available on its venom. The species is regarded as potentially dangerous, and its venom is said to be similar to that of snakes in the genus Echis. A venom protein called eristostatin has been reported to help in the fight against melanoma.1

It is regarded as a potentially dangerous species. It is described as bad-tempered, hissing very loudly and deeply, and it will strike aggressively when threatened.1

Ko honɗun ngal waɗata si ngal hulii?

It hisses very loudly and deeply, raises the front of its body off the ground in a loop and strikes aggressively. It may also sink into sand and cover its head, leaving only its snout and eyes uncovered.1
