Hemprich's coral snake is a small, venomous snake that lives in the rain forests of northern South America. It spends most of its time hidden in leaf litter on the forest floor, so it is rarely seen. It is one of the many coral snakes whose bright black, white and orange bands warn that it is dangerous.1

Indlela yokusiqaphela

  • Triads of black rings separated by white rings, as in other coral snakes1
  • The black rings in each triad are very wide, and the white rings are very narrow1
  • The coloured rings between the triads are narrow and orange, not wide and red1
  • The anal plate (a scale near the tail) is undivided, which is unlike other Micrurus species1

Sidla ngokubhidaniswa no: Other coral snakes have wide red rings between their black-and-white triads. Hemprich's coral snake has narrow orange rings there instead, and its undivided anal plate sets it apart from all other Micrurus species.1

Amandla etyhefu yokuluma nokuhlaba

Ukuluma

Ityhefu iphuma ngamazinyo aso etyhefu okanye ngamazinyo aso xa siluma.

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Ingozi ebantwini: Kubi kakhuluUkulunywa kufuna ugqirha. Ukufa kunqabe kakhulu.

Ukuba siyaluma

  • Gcina umntu engashukumi kwaye ezolile uze umse esibhedlele ngokukhawuleza, nokuba indawo elunyiweyo ibonakala incinci: iimpawu zinokuqala kwiiyure ezininzi kamva.

Soloko utsalela inombolo kaxakeka kuqala (112, 000, 911). Esi sisikhokelo soncedo lokuqala ngokubanzi, asilocebiso lwezonyango. Iziseko zoncedo lokuqala

Hlala ukhuselekile

  • Ungaze uchukumise, ubambe okanye uqhule isilwanyana sasendle, nokuba sincinci, kwaye nokuba sibonakala silele okanye sifile.
  • Sinike indawo. Ukuba udibana naso, hlala uzolile, buyela umva kancinci kwaye usiyeke sihambe ngendlela yaso.
  • Ukuba siyakuluma: hlala uzolile, musa ukushukuma, tsalela inombolo kaxakeka (112, 000, 911) okanye uye esibhedlele ngokukhawuleza. Khumbula ukuba sasikhangeleka njani, ifoto iyanceda.

Asikuzingeli. Sisebenzisa ityhefu yaso ukubamba ukutya okanye ukuzikhusela, kwaye singakhetha ukuzimela. Okungakumbi malunga nokuhlala ukhuselekile
