怎麼認出牠

  • Its dorsal (upper) body colour is glossy black.1
  • It is a long, slim snake, measuring 2.2 to 2.7 m including the tail.1
  • It has a small head with exceptionally large eyes.1
  • It has a long, spiky tail, which helps it move through trees.1
  • When threatened, it rears up and spreads a cobra-like hood, which is much narrower than that of Naja naja.1

毒液力量

咬

咬的時候,毒液會從毒牙或牙齒出來。

牠的毒液有什麼作用?

Its venom is mainly a neurotoxin, which attacks the nerves, as in most cobras. It acts quickly and is extremely potent. Bite symptoms include swelling and stinging pain around the wound, numbness of the limbs and lips, severe difficulty breathing, heavy sweating and blurred vision. Victims may die of respiratory failure, which means the lungs stop working properly.1

牠對人有多危險?

對人的危險: 非常危險如果沒有治療,牠可能會害死一個人。

It is one of the most toxic and deadly snakes in Africa. Its venom can easily kill a person, and a number of people are killed by this species each year.1

牠害怕時會做什麼?

When threatened it rears up and spreads its narrow hood, and if provoked further it may bite; if restrained, it may also use its tail spike to defend itself.1

如果牠咬人

  • 讓傷者保持不動和冷靜,取下戒指和緊身的東西,並趕快送醫院:抗毒血清就是治療方法。

一定要先打緊急電話(112、000、911)。這是一般急救指引,不是醫療建議。 急救基本知識

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
