The puff adder is a large, stout viper that lives across most of Africa and parts of the Arabian Peninsula. It is one of the most dangerous snakes in Africa because it lives in places where many people live and work, and it has very potent venom. Its camouflage hides it well, so it is easy to step near without seeing it.1

Lakas ng kamandag

Mga kagat

Lumalabas ang kamandag sa pangil o ngipin nito kapag nangangagat ito.

Ano ang epekto ng kamandag nito?

Its venom is cytotoxic, which means it destroys body tissue. Bites cause severe pain, swelling, bleeding under the skin and, in serious cases, tissue death that can spread and lead to gangrene. Other symptoms include shock, nausea, vomiting, dizziness and periods of semi-consciousness. Death can occur in about 25 hours from a dose of around 100 mg, and deaths usually come 2–4 days after a bite from complications.1

Gaano ito kapanganib sa tao?

Panganib sa tao: NakamamatayIsa sa pinakamapanganib na hayop sa mundo.

It is responsible for more snakebite deaths in Africa than any other African snake. This is due to its wide range, common presence near people, large size, potent venom and aggressive temperament. Deaths are uncommon in untreated cases, but severe bites can be fatal, with one report giving a 52% mortality rate. Most deaths are linked to poor medical care.1

Ano ang ginagawa nito kapag natatakot?

When disturbed, it hisses loudly and continuously, coils tightly with the front of its body in a taut S shape, and may back away towards cover before striking suddenly and fast.1

Kung kumagat ito

  • Panatilihing hindi gumagalaw at kalmado ang tao, panatilihin ang nakagat na braso o binti sa antas ng puso, tanggalin ang mga singsing at masisikip na bagay, at pumunta agad sa ospital.

Laging tawagan muna ang numero pang-emergency (112, 000, 911). Ito ay pangkalahatang gabay sa pangunang lunas, hindi payong medikal. Mga batayan ng pangunang lunas

Mag-ingat

  • Huwag kailanman hawakan, hulihin o asarin ang ligaw na hayop, kahit maliit, at kahit mukha itong tulog o patay.
  • Bigyan ito ng espasyo. Kung makasalubong ka ng isa, manatiling kalmado, dahan-dahang umatras at hayaan itong umalis.
  • Kung kagatin ka ng isa: manatiling kalmado, huwag gumalaw, tawagan ang numero pang-emergency (112, 000, 911) o pumunta agad sa ospital. Tandaan ang itsura nito, makakatulong ang litrato.

Hindi ka nito hinahabol. Ginagamit nito ang kamandag para manghuli ng pagkain o ipagtanggol ang sarili, at mas gusto pa nitong magtago. Higit pa tungkol sa pag-iingat

Mga fact

1

A female in a Czech zoo gave birth to 156 young, the largest litter recorded for any snake species.1

2

Its fangs are long and can penetrate deeply, and the force of its strike can kill prey by physical trauma alone.1

3

A large adult can produce between 150 and 350 mg of venom at a time, with a maximum of 750 mg.1

4

Dogs and meerkats, which hunt by scent, find it hard to detect because of a form of olfactory crypsis, meaning it hides its scent.1

5

It is one of the most toxic vipers based on LD50 (the dose that kills half of test animals in a study).1

6

It is a good swimmer and climber, and one specimen was found 4.6 m above the ground in a dense tree.1

Myth buster

Mito: Puff adders are fast, aggressive snakes that chase people.

Totoo: They are normally sluggish and rely on camouflage for protection. They strike when disturbed, but they do not usually pursue people.1
