The small-scaled burrowing asp is a black snake that lives underground in parts of West Africa. It is a venomous snake with long, hollow fangs, and scientists have studied it only a few times in the wild. It is interesting because it uses its fangs in an unusual way.1

Apa yang ia makan?

Its diet is not well studied. Snakes of its genus have been found with small rodents, birds, lizards, frogs, locusts and white ants in their stomachs or mouths. It stabs prey from the side, often underground, using one fang.1

berguna untuk diketahui

Fakta

It has long, hollow fangs, but usually uses only one of them to stab its prey.1

When given several mice, it envenomated all of them before going back to eat them.1

Most of its prey burrows, so many of its strikes happen underground, where there is little room to move.1

Pemecah mitos

Mitos: It is a viper, because it has long hollow fangs like vipers.

Hakikat: It is not closely related to vipers. Its fangs are similar, but it is more closely related to the families Colubridae and Elapidae, and its venom is unlike viper venom.1
