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

Ibintu by'ukuri

1

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

2

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

3

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

Usenya ibinyoma

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

Ukuri: 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
