Hydrophis belcheriとは 意味・読み方・使い方

The Faint-banded Sea snake (Hydrophis belcheri, also known as the Belcher's ocean snake) is a species of elapid sea snake. It is the most toxic snake in the world. It has a friendly temperament and would normally have to be subjected to severe mistreatment before biting. Usually those bitten are fishermen handling nets, although only a quarter of those bitten are envenomated since the snake rarely injects much of its venom. Because of this, and its docile nature, it is generally not regarded as very dangerous. The toxicity of this species' venom have many times been called into question, with some herpetologists and snake enthusiasts naming either the beaked sea snake (Enhydrina schistosa) or the Inland Taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus) as having the most toxic venom.
