Rhinoceros viper
The rhinoceros viper is a large, stout snake with bright colours and two or three horn-like scales on its nose. It lives in forests across West and Central Africa. It is venomous, and its venom is mainly hemotoxic, meaning it attacks the blood and circulation.1

Sida loo aqoonsado
- Large and stout, with rough, heavily keeled scales1
- Two or three horn-like scales on the end of the nose, the front pair often long1
- Series of blue or blue-green oblong markings, each with a lemon-yellow line down the centre, set within black blotches1
- Dark crimson triangles down the flanks, bordered with green or blue1
- Top of the head blue or green, with a black arrow mark1
Inta badan lagu khaldaa: The name horned puff adder is also used for Bitis caudalis (horned adder), which is a different species. Because of this, names can cause confusion, so the name butterfly viper is preferred.1

Maxay samaysaa suntiisa (qaniin ama mudid)?
Its venom is mainly hemotoxic, which attacks the circulatory system, destroying tissue and blood vessels and causing internal bleeding. It also has a neurotoxic component, which attacks the nerves. Small doses of the venom can be deadly. In the few detailed reports of human bites, massive swelling was described, which may lead to necrosis (death of tissue).1
Intee buu dadka khatar ugu yahay?
Khatarta dadka: Aad u khatar badanWuxuu dili karaa qof aan daaweyn helin.Because its range is restricted, few bites have been reported and no statistics are available. In 2003 a man in Dayton, Ohio, who kept one as a pet, was bitten and died.1
War wanaagsan: dhakhaatiirtu waxay leeyihiin daawo (antivenom) ama daaweyn tan loogu talagalay.1
Muxuu sameeyaa marka uu baqo?
When approached it often reveals its presence with a very loud hiss, almost a shriek, and it can strike quickly forwards or sideways without coiling first or giving a warning.1
Haddii uu qaniino
- Qofka ka dhig mid aan dhaqaaqin oo deggan, xubinta la qaniinay ku hay heerka wadnaha, ka saar faraantiyada iyo waxyaabaha adag, si degdeg ahna u geey isbitaalka.

Badbaado
- Weligaa ha taaban, ha qaban, hana ku ciyaarin xayawaan duurjoog ah, xitaa mid yar, xitaa haddii uu u muuqdo inuu hurdo ama dhintay.
- Meel u bannee. Haddii aad mid la kulanto, deg, tartiib dib ugu noqo oo u daa inuu jidkiisa maro.
- Haddii mid ku qaniino: deg, ha dhaqaaqin, wac lambarka gurmadka degdegga ah (112, 000, 911) ama si degdeg ah u tag isbitaalka. Xusuuso sida uu u egyahay, sawir ayaa caawiya.
Kuma raadinayo. Suntiisa wuxuu u isticmaalaa inuu cunto ku qabsado ama isku difaaco, wuxuuna aad u door bidaa inuu dhuunto. Wax badan oo ku saabsan badbaadada

Xaqiiqooyin
Its scales are so rough that they can cut people who handle a snake that is struggling.1
Its vivid colours break up its outline in the dappled light of the forest floor, so it is very hard to see.1
Its fangs are not large, rarely more than 1.5 cm long, and when not in use they fold up into the roof of its mouth.1
Its bright colours fade quickly after it sheds its skin, as silt from its moist habitat builds up on its rough scales.1
At least one antivenom, called India Antiserum Africa Polyvalent, protects specifically against bites from this species.1
Beeniye-jabiye
Khuraafaad: Its bright colours make it easy to spot in the forest.
Run: Its colours give it excellent camouflage in the dappled light of the forest floor, which can make it almost invisible.1
