Speckled rattlesnake
咬伤The speckled rattlesnake is a venomous pit viper that lives in the rocky deserts and shrubland of the south-western United States and north-western Mexico. Its back is patterned so that it looks like a piece of granite, which helps it hide among rocks. Keep a safe distance from any rattlesnake you see in the wild.1

怎样认出它
- About thirty markings run along the back, often in the form of crossbars.1
- Some markings are clearly defined geometric shapes, such as diamonds, hexagons or hourglasses.1
- The markings are always darker than the ground colour, but the exact colour varies from snake to snake.1
- Colouring usually matches the rocks where the snake lives.1
- Adults generally do not exceed 100 cm in total length, including the tail.1

它对人有多危险?
对人的危险: 严重被咬了要去看医生。死亡非常罕见。它害怕时会做什么?
Its patterned colouring blends with rock, so it is hard to see. It has a rattle at the end of its 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
