Indlela yokusibona

  • Average total length is 60–65 cm. Males can reach 85 cm, while females are rarely longer than 75 cm.1
  • The head is broad and triangular, and it is clearly separate from the neck.1
  • The tip of the snout is slightly but distinctly turned up.1
  • The tail is very short, and males are a little slimmer than females.1
  • The pattern on the back varies a lot. It rarely forms a clear zigzag, unlike the European adder.1

Ivamise ukudidaniswa ne: The European adder (Vipera berus) is a close relative. The asp's back pattern rarely forms a clear zigzag, as the adder's often does. Bites from the asp can be more severe than those from the adder.1

Amandla obuthi

Ukuluma

Ubuthi buphuma ngamazinyo aso obuthi noma ngamazinyo uma siluma.

Ubuthi baso benzani?

Its venom causes rapidly spreading, severe pain, followed by swelling and skin discolouration. Severe bleeding and tissue death can happen within a few hours. Vision may be badly affected, and in some cases victims developed breathing and swallowing difficulties and paralysis of the bitten limb.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Ingozi ebantwini: Kubi kakhuluUkulunywa kudinga udokotela. Ukufa kuyivelakancane kakhulu.

About 4% of untreated bites are fatal. In Italy, this species causes 90% of snakebite cases and is the only snake in Italian mountains that can be potentially lethal. Its bites can be more severe than those of the European adder.1

Uma siluma

  • Gcina umuntu engashukumi futhi ezolile, gcina isitho esilunyiwe sisezingeni lenhliziyo, khipha izindandatho nezinto eziqinile, bese umusa esibhedlela ngokushesha.

Njalo shayela kuqala inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911). Lokhu kuyiseluleko sosizo lokuqala esijwayelekile, akusona iseluleko sezokwelapha. Izisekelo zosizo lokuqala

Hlala uphephile

  • Ungalokothi uthinte, ubambe noma ugcone isilwane sasendle, ngisho noma sincane, futhi ngisho noma sibukeka silele noma sifile.
  • Sinike isikhala. Uma uhlangana naso, hlala uzolile, uhlehle kancane bese usiyeka sihambe ngendlela yaso.
  • Uma sikuluma: hlala uzolile, ungashukumi, shayela inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911) noma uye esibhedlela ngokushesha. Khumbula ukuthi besibukeka kanjani, isithombe siyasiza.

Asikuzingeli wena. Sisebenzisa ubuthi baso ukuze sibambe ukudla noma ukuzivikela, futhi singancamela ukucasha. Okwengeziwe mayelana nokuhlala uphephile

Amaqiniso

1

Ancient writers named the snake that supposedly killed Queen Cleopatra as an asp. Experts think a cobra would have been too big, over 5 feet long, to smuggle in a basket.1

2

In the past, the word "asp" was used to mean any venomous snake.1

3

In 2006, a number of these vipers were found in a wooded area near Poortugaal in the Netherlands. The species is not native there, so it was probably released or escaped.1

4

Asp vipers have been found at over 2,100 m above sea level in the Pyrenees, even though they are not strongly linked to high altitudes.1

5

The venom yield is relatively low. One study recorded a daily extraction of 9–10 mg.1

Umqothuli wezinganekwane

Inganekwane: Queen Cleopatra was killed by a cobra.
