Otrovna snaga

Što radi njegov otrov kad ugrize ili ubode?

The venom is toxic and deadly to other reptiles and amphibians, and it slows and eventually kills the prey. The venom is not considered dangerous to humans. Some bites cause systemic symptoms such as paralysis and bleeding, along with localised pain and swelling that can range from moderate to severe.1

Ostani na sigurnom

Nikad ne diraj, ne hvataj i ne zadirkuj divlju životinju, čak ni malu, i čak ni ako izgleda kao da spava ili je mrtva.
Ostavi joj prostora. Ako je sretneš, ne paniči, polako se odmakni i pusti je da ode svojim putem.
Ako te neka ugrize: ne paniči, miruj, nazovi broj za hitne slučajeve (112, 000, 911) ili brzo idi u bolnicu. Zapamti kako je izgledala, fotografija pomaže.

Ne želi ti ništa loše. Otrov koristi za lov hrane ili za obranu i mnogo bi se radije sakrilo. Više o sigurnosti
