它对人有多危险？

对人的危险: 非常危险不治疗可能会害死人。

Although it is venomous, few deaths have been recorded from its bites. It rarely strikes, because it tends to flatten, lie still or flee instead, and its rear fangs make a strong bite on a large object difficult.1

它害怕时会做什么？

At cooler temperatures it flattens its neck and body and lies still. At higher temperatures it is more likely to flee.1

值得了解

事实

It stores toxic steroids in special glands on the back of its neck, taken from the toads it eats, and it is resistant to their effects.1

Females can pass the stored toad toxins to their offspring through the egg yolk and the egg membranes.1

Two rows of neck glands give it a chemical defence, a process called kleptotoxisism, meaning it steals toxins from its prey and uses them for its own protection.1

Its fangs are at the back of its mouth, which makes a strong strike on a large animal difficult.1
