The Albany adder is a small viper from the Cape Province of South Africa. It is extremely rare, and for a time it was thought to be extinct. Its rediscovery in 2016 and 2017 made it an important animal to protect.1

怎样认出它

  • It has no horns over the eyes, unlike the typical form of the species, but it has prominent bumps above the eyes.1
  • Its colour is brown to reddish brown.1
  • It may not have the distinctive pattern seen on the typical form.1
  • It is small. Males reach a maximum recorded snout to vent length of 27 cm, and females 22.5 cm.1

常被误认为: It was once treated as a subspecies of Bitis cornuta. The main difference is that it lacks the horns found on the typical form of that species, the nominate race B. c. cornuta.1

它对人有多危险?

对人的危险: 很疼可能真的很疼,但几乎从不严重。

It is extremely rare. Only 12 individuals have been identified since the species was discovered in 1937, so encounters with people are very unlikely. Like all vipers, it is venomous.1

如果它咬人

  • 让人保持安静不动,被咬的肢体与心脏保持同一高度,摘下戒指和紧身物品,尽快送医院。

一定先拨打你的急救电话(112、000、911)。这里是一般急救指导,不是医疗建议。 急救基础

注意安全

  • 永远不要摸、抓或逗弄野生动物,即使是很小的,即使它看起来在睡觉或已经死了。
  • 给它留出空间。如果遇到它,保持冷静,慢慢后退,让它走自己的路。
  • 如果被它咬了:保持冷静,保持不动,拨打你的急救电话(112、000、911)或尽快去医院。记住它长什么样,拍张照片会有帮助。

它不是冲着你来的。它用毒液捕猎或保护自己,而且它更愿意躲起来。 更多安全知识
