Argentinian coral snake
The Argentinian coral snake is a venomous snake that lives in central South America, especially the Dry Chaco region. It is large for its group, and its bright red, white and black rings make it easy to spot. Its venom is powerful, so it is important to know what it looks like and to give it plenty of room.1

怎样认出它
- Red, white and black rings run around the whole body.1
- The black rings come in groups of three, called triads. There are 5 to 9 triads on the body.1
- The middle black ring of each triad is wider than the black rings on either side of it.1
- The white rings are narrow, about three scales wide, and the scales have black tips.1
- Adults usually measure 70 to 90 cm, including the tail.1

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

事实
The maximum venom yield recorded from a milked snake was 80 mg, which is eight to ten times the estimated lethal dose for an adult human.1
At 1.24 m, the largest recorded specimen is about as long as a small child is tall. This is large for the genus Micrurus.1
Males and females look alike in their scale counts. This is unusual for the genus, where the sexes often differ.1
Its colour pattern of red, white and black rings is shared by many New World coral snakes.1
