Ecuadorian toadheaded pitviper
The Ecuadorian toadheaded pitviper is a venomous snake that lives in the forests of western South America. It is found only in that region and is a member of the pitviper family. Its name honours an American scientist who studied snakes.1

怎样认出它
- Its body has 21 to 25 rows of scales at the middle of the body, usually 23.1
- Most of its body scales have a ridge down the middle (keeled). The scales near the back of the body have small bumps on the ridge, even in small snakes.1
- In large adults, the ridges on the back scales are highly raised.1
- Adults are large. The specimens measured range from about 87 cm to about 123 cm long, including the tail.1
常被误认为: It was once grouped with Bothrops pulcher, a related pitviper, and was long treated as part of that species. Scientists later found it to be a separate species.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
