乐生活What’s your first feeling when you see soldering iron? Believe that many people give the answer should be fear, after all, the frequency of iron torture in movies and TV plays is quite high. Today, we introduce a kind of poisonous snake, Ermia mangshanensis or Protobothrops mangshanensis, whose head is like iron branding. It is a poisonous snake species belonging to the suborder Agkistrodon, mainly distributed in Hunan Province, China. It is a endemic snake species in Mangshan area of Yizhang County. No subspecies have been identified. The main reason why Mangshan Iron Head Snake got its name is that its head is obviously triangular, like the head of a piece of iron, is it quite appropriate? Their tails are white, so they are also known as Mangshan primitive viper and Mangshan white-tailed snake. They often lie dormant in the shadows, track their prey in time to hunt, and sometimes hide in caves, spraying venom at enemies or prey like cobras.
The snake species is currently in a small number and is listed as "endangered" in the Red List by the World Conservation Union (IUCN). It is apparently confined to its specific origin (generally less than 100 square kilometers) and is also known as "panda in snake" in the workshop because it belongs to the national protected species.
