A group of venomous snakes of the Elapidae family with beautiful stripes and strong neurotoxins. The Micrurus genus (illustration), which includes the majority of coral snakes, is found in the tropical regions of Central and South America, and the Arizona Micruroides genus is found in the United States and Mexico. They are small and slender, with total lengths of 50 to 100 cm, with a maximum of 120 cm. They have red, yellow, and black bands, and are very similar, with slight differences in the width of the bands. The bright colors of coral snakes are a warning color that stands out in nature, and most of them are active during the day. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
