MorsasThe terciopelo is a large pit viper, one of the biggest vipers in the world. It lives from north-east Mexico through Central America to northern South America. It is important to know because it causes more envenomated snakebites than any other snake in its range.1

Forza dal tissi
Il tissi vegn or tras ses dents da tissi u ses dents, cura ch'el morda.
Quant privlus è el per umans?
Privel per umans: MortalIn dals animals ils pli privlus dal mund.It is considered one of the most dangerous snakes in its range because it is large, has big fangs and a potent venom, and lives close to people. It is responsible for the most envenomated snakebites within its range. Bites usually happen only when the snake is cornered, pursued or threatened.1
Tge fa el, cura ch'el ha tema?
When cornered or threatened, it may perform an S-shaped coiled display and can be very defensive, sometimes suddenly reversing direction to attack.1
Sch'el morda
- Tegna la persuna immobila e quieta, tegna il member mors a l'autezza dal cor, prenda giu anels e chaussas strenschidas e va spert en in ospital.
Clama adina l'emprim tes numer d'urgenza (112, 000, 911). Quai è in cussegl general d'emprim agid, betg in cussegl medicinal. Basa da l'emprim agid
Resta en segirezza
- Na tutga, na piglia e na tizza mai in animal selvadi, gnanc in pitschen, ed era sch'el para da durmir u d'esser mort.
- Dà spazi a l'animal. Sche ti scuntras in, resta calm, va plaun enavos e lascha ir el per sia via.

Fatgs
Juveniles can lure prey by waving brightly coloured tail tips. Only males have bright tail tips, though both sexes show this behaviour.1
It is one of the largest vipers in the world, and it is often called 'the ultimate pit-viper' by herpetologists.1
Females are much bigger than males. The two sexes are born the same size, but females grow much faster from about 7 to 12 months of age.1
Its home range is small for a pit viper, averaging between about 3.7 and 6 hectares.1

Mit: Fer-de-lance is the name of one single snake species.
Vardad: The name fer-de-lance has been used informally for several Bothrops species, including this one. Herpetologists now prefer the name terciopelo for Bothrops asper.1
