Ethiopian mountain adder

Хорны хүч

Хаздаг

Хазах үед хор нь соёо эсвэл шүдээр нь гардаг.

Түүний шахдаг хор юу хийдэг вэ?

Its venom was essentially unknown until recently, so its toxicity and make-up are still poorly understood. It is assumed to cause at least some of the bites reported in the densely populated areas where it lives. The venom can be neutralised by SAIMR antivenom.1

Хүмүүст хэр аюултай вэ?

Local people regard it as very dangerous. The only well-documented bite involved a herpetologist from Texas in 2009, who was bitten on the finger by a young captive snake and survived.1

Сайн мэдээ: эмч нарт үүний эсрэг эм (хорны эсрэг ийлдэс) эсвэл эмчилгээ бий.1

Айхаараа юу хийдэг вэ?

In the one living specimen studied, it was less irritable than the puff adder and was not inclined to strike, but it hissed when teased and struggled furiously when restrained.1
