South American bushmaster
The South American bushmaster is one of the longest vipers in the world, and it is the longest venomous snake in the Western Hemisphere. It lives in the equatorial forests east of the Andes and on the island of Trinidad. Its bite is dangerous, so it is important to know what it looks like.1

Uni qanday tanish mumkin
- Its ground colour is yellowish, reddish or grey-brown.1
- Dark brown or black blotches run along the body, forming inverted triangles on the sides.1
- Adults are usually 2 to 2.5 m long, and 3 m is not unusual.1
- The head is broad and clearly separate from the narrow neck.1
- The tail is short and ends in a spine. When alarmed it vibrates the tail, which makes a loud rustling in undergrowth.1
Koʻpincha adashtiriladi: It is similar in appearance to rattlesnakes. It has no rattle, so its tail vibration sounds like rustling leaves rather than a rattle.1
