Travel the World of Postage Stamps - Snakes and Protected animals of USSR - Levantine Viper (Vipera lebetina) - USSR, Soviet Union 1977 - Michel USSR 4679 - my hobby.
Greetings friends!
Lightning-fast, deadly, battle mace, here are some epithets that can be used to characterize the largest snake from the family of vipers, called Levantine Viper (Vipera lebetina), which we see on the second postage stamp from series Snakes and Protected animals of USSR, issued in the USSR in 1977.
It is difficult to imagine that such snakes like to coexist with humans, with cities, which are the main source of food for these snakes - rats.
A meeting with a two-meter snake is probably not the most pleasant thing that can happen in your life, especially since the reaction of the throw of this snake exceeds the possible reaction of a person to evade this throw.
Even snake catchers are afraid of this snake.
In some action films, the main character, trying to escape from the arms of the enemy in a fight, shoots a pistol in his shoulder in order to hit the enemy from the side of his back ... something like this can be done by this snake when it hold by the head.
It bites its lower jaw and reaches its opponent, and the venom of this snake is no less dangerous than the venom of a cobra.
