Izinhlobo Zezinyoka
Iintlobo zeeNyoka
Most snakes are harmless to humans. Many snakes help to control pests on farms and in gardens. Some snakes use venom (poison) to kill their food. The venom of some snakes is strong enough to kill a child or an adult. Not all snakes produce venom, but they can still give a very painful bite. Venom is injected through special teeth, called fangs, which may be at the back or front of the mouth. Adders (vipers) have very long fangs that are hinged and fold back into the roof of the mouth when not in use.
The Boomslang has back fangs. | The Cobra has front fangs. | The Gaboon Adder has hinged front fangs. |
Die Boomslang het agtertande. | Die Kaapse kobra het voortande. | Die Gaboenadder het geskarnierde voortande. |
Die meeste slange is onskadelik vir die mens. Baie slange help om plae op plase en in tuine te beheer. Sommige slange gebruik gif om hul prooi dood te maak. Sommige se gif is sterk genoeg om n kind of n grootmens dood te maak. Nie alle slange produseer gif nie, maar hulle kan steeds baie seer byt. Die gif word in kliere in die slang se kop geproduseer; dit word deur spesiale slagtande ingespuit. Die slagtande kan voor of agter in die bek wees. Sommige slange, bekend as adders, het baie lang slagtande wat kan skarnier en teen die verhemelte terugvou wanneer hulle nie gebruik word nie. | Iningi lezinyoka azinabungozi ebantwini.
