Sind krait
The Sind krait is a highly venomous snake from the cobra family. It lives in parts of Bangladesh, northwestern India, Afghanistan and Pakistan. It is easy to miss, because its banded colouring and stillness help it blend in.1

怎麼認出牠
- Black above and white below.1
- Narrow white bands along the body. In some colour variants the bands are yellow or grey.1
- Young snakes have white spots on about a third of the body instead of bands. The bands develop as the snake matures.1
- Egg-shaped head with a short snout, small eyes with vertically oval pupils, and a pointed tail tip.1
常被誤認為: The Sind krait can be confused with the common krait.1
毒液力量
咬的時候,毒液會從毒牙或牙齒出來。
牠對人有多危險?
對人的危險: 致命世界上最危險的動物之一。The Sind krait is highly venomous. Most people who are bitten never see the snake. Many bites happen when a person accidentally steps on it, or when someone tries to scare or kill it after it has shown itself.1
牠害怕時會做什麼?
When startled, it strikes. Before that, it relies on camouflage and keeping very still.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

小知識
Most bites happen by accident, because the snake's camouflage and stillness keep it hidden from people.1
Young Sind kraits look very different from adults. They have white spots instead of bands until they mature.1
The bands can be white, yellow or grey, depending on the colour variation of the snake.1
