The Gaboon viper is a large, heavy snake with a striking pattern of pale and dark markings. It lives in the rainforests and savannas of sub-Saharan Africa. It is one of the most venomous snakes in the world, so knowing what it looks like matters.1

Inodya chii?

It hunts mainly by ambush, waiting motionless for prey to pass. It eats amphibians, mammals and birds, and it is able to take prey as large as fully grown rabbits. Once it strikes, it holds on to its prey with its fangs rather than letting go.1

Maziviro ayo

A large, heavy, stout body, with a large triangular head and a neck much narrower than the head1
A series of pale, rectangular blotches down the centre of the back, with dark hourglass markings edged in yellow1
A white or cream head with a fine dark central line and a dark blue-black triangle behind and below each eye1
Small raised 'horns' between the nostrils, which are tiny in this species1
Its camouflage works well among dead leaves under trees, so it can be hard to see1

Inowanzovhiringidzwa ne: The Congolese giant toad (Sclerophrys channingi) may be a mimic of this snake. Its head appears to resemble the viper's head, while its body is darker.1

Inoruma

Uturu hwayo hunoitei?

The venom is cytotoxic, which means it damages cells, and cardiotoxic, which means it harms the heart. Each bite can deliver a large amount of venom, because the snake does not release its grip after biting.1

Ine ngozi yakadii kuvanhu?

Bites are extremely rare, because the snake is seldom aggressive and lives mostly in rainforest areas. Most bites happen when people accidentally step on it. Even an average bite from an average-sized snake is potentially fatal.1

Mashoko akanaka: vanachiremba vane mushonga (antivenom) kana kurapwa kwechinhu ichi.1

Inoitei kana yatya?

When threatened it hisses loudly in a deep, steady rhythm and flattens its head slightly with each breath. It is unlikely to strike unless it is severely provoked.1

Kana ikaruma

Any bite should be treated as a serious medical emergency. Antivenom should be given as soon as possible to save the limb or the person's life.1

zvakanaka kuziva

Chokwadi

A 1.8 m specimen caught in 1973 weighed 11.3 kg with an empty stomach. It is the heaviest venomous snake in Africa.1

Its eyes can move in unusual ways. If its head is turned 360°, one eye tilts up and the other tilts down.1

Although it is one of the fastest-striking snakes in the world, it usually tolerates handling and rarely bites or hisses.1

Unlike many African vipers, such as the puff adder, it does not release its grip after biting.1

Males fight by intertwining their necks and pushing. The winner pushes the other's head to the ground and raises his own head by 20–30 cm.1

Kuputsa ngano

Ngano: Because it is calm and tolerant, it is safe to handle.

Chokwadi: Some writers have described it as so docile it can be handled as freely as a harmless snake. This is absolutely not recommended: it is one of the fastest-striking snakes, and bites by bad-tempered individuals do occur.1
