The Uzungwe viper is a small, rare snake that lives only on a few mountains in south-central Tanzania, in Africa. It lives on the ground in bushes and bamboo, and it mainly eats slugs and worms. Because it has such a tiny home range, it is special to scientists who study it.1

Kako jo prepoznaš

  • Small snake, reaching only 40 cm (16 in) in total length including the tail.1
  • Broad, triangular head that is clearly separate from the neck, with a short, rounded snout.1
  • Brown to blackish brown body with a pair of zigzag stripes running from the back of the head to the tail. The stripes may break into a chain of darker diamond-shaped blotches down the back.1
  • Belly is greenish white to olive.1
  • Relatively short tail that is not used for gripping.1

Pogosto zamenjujejo z: It is similar to Montatheris hindii and Proatheris superciliaris, which are also ground-living vipers. The zigzag stripes and short tail are the features to note.1

Kako nevarna je za ljudi?

Nevarnost za ljudi: BolečeLahko zelo boli, a skoraj nikoli ni resno.

No cases of bite have been recorded. Because its range is very small, bites are unlikely to occur.1

Če ugrizne

  • Poškodovanca drži pri miru in ga pomirjaj, ugriznjeni ud drži v višini srca, odstrani prstane in tesne stvari ter ga hitro odpelji v bolnišnico.

Vedno najprej pokliči številko za klic v sili (112, 000, 911). To so splošna navodila za prvo pomoč, ne zdravniški nasvet. Osnove prve pomoči

Ostani varen

  • Nikoli se ne dotikaj divje živali, je ne lovi in je ne draži, tudi če je majhna in tudi če je videti, kot da spi ali je mrtva.
  • Pusti ji prostor. Če jo srečaš, ostani miren, počasi stopi nazaj in jo pusti, da gre svojo pot.
  • Če te ugrizne: ostani miren, ne premikaj se, pokliči številko za klic v sili (112, 000, 911) ali hitro pojdi v bolnišnico. Zapomni si, kako je izgledala, fotografija pomaga.

Ne preži nate. Strup uporablja, da ulovi hrano ali se zaščiti, in se veliko raje skrije. Več o varnosti
