Daboia
From
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Daboia is a monotypic genus of
venomous
Old World
viper.
The single species,
D. russelii, is found in Asia throughout the Indian subcontinent, much of Southeast
Asia, southern China
and Taiwan.The
species was named in honor of Patrick Russell (1726–1805), a Scottish herpetologist
who first described many of India's snakes; and the name of the genus is from the Hindi word meaning "that
lies hid", or "the lurker."[
Daboia is also one of the species responsible for causing
the most snakebite
incidents and deaths among all venomous snakes on account of many factors, such
as their wide distribution and frequent occurrence in highly-populated areas.
Daboia are commonly known as Russell's viper
and chain viper, among other names.
The head is flattened, triangular and distinct from the
neck. The snout is blunt, rounded and raised. The nostrils are large, in the
middle of a large, single nasal scale. The lower edge of the nasal touches the nasorostral.
The supranasal has a strong crescent shape and separates the nasal from the
nasorostral anteriorly. The rostral
is as broad as it is high.
Geographic range
Found in India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh,
Nepal, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, China (Guangxi, Guangdong), Taiwan and Indonesia
(Endeh, Flores,
east Java, Komodo,
Lomblen
Islands). The type locality is listed as
"India". More specifically, this would be the Coromandel
Coast, by inference of Russell (1796).
Behavior
This snake is terrestrial and active primarily as a nocturnal forager. However, during cool weather it will alter its behavior and become more active during the day.
