Hemprich's coral snake is a small, venomous snake that lives in the rain forests of northern South America. It spends most of its time hidden in leaf litter on the forest floor, so it is rarely seen. It is one of the many coral snakes whose bright black, white and orange bands warn that it is dangerous.1

Indlela yokusibona

  • Triads of black rings separated by white rings, as in other coral snakes1
  • The black rings in each triad are very wide, and the white rings are very narrow1
  • The coloured rings between the triads are narrow and orange, not wide and red1
  • The anal plate (a scale near the tail) is undivided, which is unlike other Micrurus species1

Ivamise ukudidaniswa ne: Other coral snakes have wide red rings between their black-and-white triads. Hemprich's coral snake has narrow orange rings there instead, and its undivided anal plate sets it apart from all other Micrurus species.1

Ukuluma

Ubuthi buphuma ngamazinyo aso obuthi noma ngamazinyo uma siluma.

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

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

Uma siluma

  • Gcina umuntu engashukumi futhi ezolile bese umusa esibhedlela ngokushesha, ngisho noma inxeba libukeka lincane: izimpawu zingaqala emahoreni amaningi kamuva.

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
