The Milos viper is a venomous snake found only on a few small islands in the Cyclades, in the Aegean Sea off Greece. It is a rare animal, and it is special because it has adapted to eating birds and lizards rather than the rodents found elsewhere.1

Sitya ntoni?

Adults feed mainly on passerine birds, which are perching songbirds. Young vipers under 35 cm feed mainly on Milos wall lizards and European copper skinks. Because there are no native rodents on the western Cyclades, the snakes have adapted to eat birds and lizards.1

Ukuba siyaluma

Gcina umntu engashukumi kwaye ezolile, gcina ilungu elilunyiweyo kwinqanaba lentliziyo, susa imisesane nezinto eziqinileyo, uze umse esibhedlele ngokukhawuleza.

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

Iinyaniso

The western Cyclades have no native rodents, so this viper has adapted to hunting birds and lizards.1

Although it is mainly on the ground, it climbs trees to hunt birds and other prey on autumn nights.1

In 1998, an estimated 500–600 adults were being removed from the wild or killed each year through illegal collection, road deaths and persecution.1

Fewer than 4,000 adults were thought to survive in the wild as of 2022.1
