Summary edit

Description

Это, вероятно, самая опасная змея в Европе. Ареал - северо-восток Италии, юг Австрии, юг Словакии, запад Венгрии, Словения, Хорватия, Босния и Герцеговина, Сербия, Черногория, Албания, Греция, Македонию, Румынию, Болгария, Турция, Грузия и Сирия. Несмотря на свою репутацию, змея этого вида, как правило, вялая, совсем не агрессивная, не кусает без значительной провокации. Если удивлена, может реагировать по-разному - останется неподвижной, будет шипеть и уползет или попытается укусить. Этот вид часто держат в неволе и успешно разводят. Яд V. Ammodytes используется в производстве противоядия от укуса других европейских гадюк, и змеи специально выращиваются для этой цели. Является охраняемым видом в соответствии с Приложением II Бернской конвенции.

Vipera ammodytes is a venomous viper species found in southern Europe through to the Balkans and parts of the Middle East. It is reputed to be the most dangerous of the European vipers due to its large size, long fangs (up to 13 mm) and high venom toxicity. Despite its reputation, this species is generally lethargic, not at all aggressive, and tends not to bite without considerable provocation. Humans respond rapidly to this venom, as do mice and birds. Lizards are less affected, while amphibians may even survive a bite. This species has often been kept in captivity and bred successfully. V. ammodytes venom is used in the production of antivenin for the bite of other European vipers and the snake is farmed for this purpose.

This species is listed as strictly protected (Appendix II) under the Berne Convention.
