Sri Lankan hump-nosed viper
咬伤The Sri Lankan hump-nosed viper is a small venomous pitviper. It is found only in Sri Lanka, where it is called mukalan thelissa in Sinhala. It lives in forests, from lowland rainforest up to over 1,800 metres, and is known for its strongly upturned snout.1

怎样认出它
- Its snout has a strongly upturned tip, with a raised, wart-like hump just behind it.1
- The ground colour is light brown to dark brown or pale olive, flecked and mottled with darker tones.1
- It has 17 to 26 brown blotches along its back, which alternate or oppose each other.1
- The top of the head is brown, usually without a pattern, with a black stripe running from behind the eye to the neck.1
- It is relatively small, with adults usually 30 to 35 cm long in total.1
常被误认为: It is distinguished from Hypnale hypnale by its snout, which has a strongly upturned tip caused by an extended rostral scale. The raised hump behind the snout is covered with 7 to 14 very small scales.1

它对人有多危险?

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
