Some snakes across the tracks (Brazil)
Author: pedrop

Hi, here are some pics of snakes found near the tracks in Brazil this weekend by railroaders. Snakes are a real danger here, and railfans must be attention where put the feet. Snakes like the heat of the rails, so if you come here be carefull.

It looks a Surucucu...

Mute Lachesis, commonly known as the surucucu, surucutinga, surucucutinga, fire surucucu, jackfruit surucucu, and tuft snake, [1] is the largest venomous snake in Latin America [2]. [3] Brazil has two subspecies of the genus Lachesis: L. muta muta and L. muta rhombeata. [4]

Those snakes need a .22 long rifle right between the eyes.

That's one of the reasons I'll never visit Brazil. The second reason is the world's most dangerous spider.
