Caatinga coral snake
Micrurus ibiboboca
名字的由來: Ibiboboca is the local common name for this species. It comes from an indigenous language, not from Latin or Portuguese.1
對人的危險: 非常危險如果沒有治療,牠可能會害死一個人。The caatinga coral snake is a venomous snake that lives in eastern Brazil, south of the Amazon. It is large for its group, the coral snakes, and its bright red, black and white rings are its best clue. It is often mistaken for a more widespread coral snake.1

長度
70 cm 到 1,3 m (2,3 ft 到 4,4 ft)1
牠吃什麼?
It hunts a wide range of long, cold-blooded animals. These include caecilians (limbless amphibians), amphisbaenids (worm lizards) and other snakes, including its own species.1

怎麼認出牠
- Red, black and white (or yellow) rings, like most coral snakes.1
- Black rings come in groups of three, called triads, with two white rings between them.1
- The white rings are about as wide as the black rings.1
- The red rings sit between the triads. They are narrower than the triads but wider than a single black or white ring.1
- Adults usually measure 70 to 85 cm (2.3 to 2.8 ft) including the tail.1
常被誤認為: It is often confused with Micrurus lemniscatus, a widespread coral snake with a similar colour pattern. The caatinga coral snake is large for its genus, and its ring pattern is the key feature to check.1

注意安全
- 絕對不要碰、抓或捉弄野生動物,就算是很小的動物,就算牠看起來在睡覺或已經死了也一樣。
- 給牠空間。如果遇到了,保持冷靜,慢慢往後退,讓牠自己離開。
- 如果被牠咬了:保持冷靜,保持不動,打緊急電話(112、000、911)或趕快去醫院。記住牠的樣子,有照片會很有幫助。
牠不是想來抓你。牠用毒液來捕捉食物或保護自己,而且牠更想躲起來。 更多安全知識
