have you ever wondered about venomous reptiles? Then you should read this. To know about reptile venom, you have to know how to cure it, what reptiles have venom, and what you can use venom for. in this paragraph i'm going to tell you what to do if you get bit by a venomous reptile.First when you get bit from a venomous reptile you need to know how to cure it. first do not panic because most snake deaths from snake bites are not instantaneous, and go to the hospital immediately you don’t know how to cure it, you could die. Reptile Gardens (n.d.) says “Throughout the world, it is estimated there are a minimum of 1 to 2 million annual snakebite incidents (this number includes bites by non-venomous species). Of that number, roughly 50,000 to 100,000 bites result in fatalities worldwide.” you need to know how many snake bites there annually. States there are approximately 5,000 - 7,000 venomous snakebites every year. However, generally only 10 - 15 are fatal. In Australia, the country with the highest percentage of deadly snakes, just 3 to 4 people are killed by venomous snakes yearly. he next thing i’ll tell you about being aware of venomous snakes. …show more content…
Venomous snakes are reptiles that produces a toxin in a specialized gland and possesses a specific venom delivery system, which is typically injected through fangs upon biting prey. These snakes are really fat, with big, fat heads. They have slits for pupils. The rattlesnakes have rattles on the end of their tails. usually the snakes that have orange or any type f stripes are mostly poisonous.next m to tell you about some uses of
This can get expensive and unsanitary. These non-venomous snakes are tricky to care for and often illegally released into the wild. This dumping, importation for the exotic pet trade, and escaped snakes from Hurricane Andrew is resulting in an established wild population of Burmese pythons in South Florida. II. Facts Native to the jungles and to the grassy marshes of Southeast Asia, the Burmese pythons are said to have been first reported in the Everglades in 2000.
The snake’s calm demeanor when they first meet, his confidence and power, and his gruesome death help evoke sympathy in the reader. The reader’s first impression of the snake is that “he held his ground in calm watchfulness.” His stance was tense, but not threatening, as “his head was not drawn back to strike.” He does not intend to attack without being provoked; he
The effect the reader perceives in the passage of Rattler is attained from the usage of the author¡¯s imagery. The author describes the pre-action of the battle between the man and the snake as a ¡°furious signal, quite sportingly warning [the man] that [he] had made an unprovoked attack, attempted to take [the snake¡¯s] life... ¡± The warning signal is portrayed in order to reveal the significance of both the man¡¯s and the snake¡¯s value of life. The author sets an image of how one of their lives must end in order to keep the world in peace. In addition, the author describes how ¡°there was blood in [snake¡¯s] mouth and poison dripping from his fangs; it was all a nasty sight, pitiful now that it was done.¡± This bloody image of snake¡¯s impending death shows the significance of the man¡¯s acceptance toward the snake. In a sense, the reader can interpret the man¡¯s sympathy toward the snake because of the possibility that he should have let him go instead of killing him.
Throughout several myths, monsters are described as many diverse creatures. At first glance, they all seem very distinctive. However, each monster is like a combination of several qualities and characteristics that are matched in different ways to form the monsters that appear in myths such as Hercules, Bellerophon, and Perseus. All monsters have very distinct looks that make them inferior to humans. Generally, they are a mixture of two or more different animals such as snakes, lions, or humans and they may have multiple heads. For example, Cerberus was a horrific three-headed dog that had the tail of a dragon and his back was covered with snakes. Several monsters have some part of them from a snake. Snakes symbolize an evil quality and that is why many monsters are forms of them. Cerberus had his whole back covered in snakes and a dragon tail. Both of these are snake-like parts that contribute to Cerberus looking terrifying. His tail is from a dragon which is very similar to a snake and his back is filled with snakes like fur. The Hydra of Lerna is also an im...
An invasive species is one that is unknown to an ecosystem that causes economic or environmental harm to human health. A cane toad (Rhinella marina) is a large, poisonous amphibian with dry skin, that moves with small, quick hops. The average adult cane toad is roughly 15 cm. They were originally from Southern U.S. states and South America. Cane toads are most likely to be found in a range of habitats from coastal land to parts of rainforests; however, they are copious in open fields and grasslands. They feed on just about anything that they are able to fit in their mouths, but they usually eat living insects such as beetles, ants, termites, and other bugs. Cane toads adapt well to their environment and they serve as a dominant species in their ecosystem because they have very few
These animals do not only threaten the Cozumel raccoons directly through predation and competition but also transmit disease and parasites, including mange, rabies, canine distemper and the parasite Toxoplasma gondii research suggest by Windscreen Arkive.(http://www.arkive.org/pygmy-raccoon/procyon-pygmaeus/) The reason of this is because “Cozumel carnivores have presumably been isolated from mainland para-sites and diseases for a long time, they may be particularly vulnerable to novel pathogens introduced by domestic animals and mainland wild species.” suggested by Biodiversity and Conservation (13: 317–331, 2004.) Also because of their small size they are much less able to defend themselves from predators. Other leading predators are the introduced Boa constrictor snakes, which has been well established in Cozumel Island and certainly capable of killing them and Northern Raccoons as pets brings further threats of disease and transmission and potential hybridization with the Cozumel raccoon. Therefore, introduced species have adverse effects on the life of raccoons.
“Just about every order of animal has venomous members,” says Bryan Grieg Fry, a venom researcher at the University of Queensland in Australia. “There are hundreds of thousands of [venomous] species out there.” If you look up any species of animal you will find at least one member has some kind of toxin that they use. “Although the words “venomous” and “poisonous” are used interchangeably in everyday speech, they are actually fundamentally different. By definition, venom has to be injected into the body, introduced by a bite or a sting. Poison, on the other hand, is ingested or inhaled into the body by the victim. Thus, venomous and poisonous animals are altogether different.” (Papio 2) Anim...
Snakes and cows have 25% of the same DNA. On the same note we have 80% of the same DNA as cows. Herpetology is the study of reptiles and amphibians. I am credible to talk about the subject because I have found this subject interesting for many years. The 4 things about herpetology you should know are the species, venom, the danger and the people.
Australian Reptiles take advantage of their environment. Their success is dependent on external heat source. Reptiles are ectothermic creatures, they require light and warmth for their daily survival. The external heat both enhances a reptile’s digestion and rejuvenates their energy enabling them to feed more often. (Life History Evolution In Reptiles). Reptiles in arid ecosystems have a greater temperature regulation whereas in cooler climates reptiles face a more difficult battle of survival. Adaptions to the dry land of Australia and their ability to tolerate such a habitat will be investigated.
Most frogs are known for their long tongues, protruding eyes, and absence of its tail. Frogs are also known for their unbelievable jump, but what people don’t really consider is that many frogs contain toxins. These toxins are used in defense against their predators and gives makes them unappetizing to them. Poisonous frogs usually display their toxicity with their beautiful bright colors, strategically known as aposematism.

...ization. The Lowland Copperhead is often found in houses of villagers who live near estuaries, this is especially dangerous because the Copperhead has a neurotoxin venom which is lethal to all those who are bitten if proper medical attention is not sought. Lastly is the White Lipped snake that is the least dangerous snake on Tasmania due to its small venom glands and tiny fangs, death rarely results from a bite from one of these snakes. Unlike most snakes the White Lipped snake is preyed upon by household cats and even small birds of prey, although given the chance this snake will attack birds and some marsupials when hiding in the dense grasslands.
Wild animals should not be touched or petted, even if they seem friendly. Do not interfere in fights between animals. Use extra caution in handling a pet that has come in contact with a wild animal. Windows and door should be covered with screens. People who work with domestic or wild animals should be vaccinated against rabies. Bites from mice, rats, and squirrels rarely transmit rabies because if they are bitten by a larger rabid animal they usually die” (“Rabies 2”). Also, if there is a situation where someone wakes up in a room where there is a bat, seek medical attention. Likewise, when traveling it is good to be aware the prevalence of rabies in the area you are visiting (“Rabies
Turtles are one of the most unique animals that roam the Earth today. They have the most unique body plans any animal has ever had. Being one of the oldest reptiles, from the order Testudines, they have gone through millions of years of adaption and evolution. Their evolution have left biologist puzzled and has demanded the attention of zoologist to study and discover the adaptation of these fascinating creatures. With the recent discoveries of Eunotosaurus africanus and Pappochelys Rosinae, biologist can finally piece together the missing links to help finally solve how turtles became the wqay they are today. The discovery of their evolution and the altercation of the Turtle and their Bauplan is astounding.
