huh I thought this was one of the most
dangerous snakes in Panama the
fer-de-lance but this is not this is a
look-alike this is a cat eyed snake but
see those markings and see that
spearhead like shape on its head that
makes it look like a fertile lands at
first glance but really this is a
relatively benign snake and look at that
look you can tell look at that swollen
belly right there you can tell it just
had a meal recently see those bumps
those are the rear legs of a lizard so
at least one of us around here is
getting some DEET well I’ll let him go
so it can digest its meal but who things
like that freak out huh this snake may
not have been dangerous but there are 26
known venomous species in Panama that
are and before setting out on my journey
I had a hard-hitting reminder of the
realities of sharing this forest with
them Wow yeah don’t place under the sea
one morning Carmelina was walking by the
river when he was bitten on the ankle by
a snake he told me how his whole body
was in pain he was bleeding from his
eyes and nose and they wanted to
amputate his leg dr. Horta la pierna yo
Alves de que ya tono see Ruben Lhasa
lega se para yo la dia no dude it’s a
miracle you’re still life the snake that
bit karma lino was a fer-de-lance known

dangerous snakes in the Americas and
extremely common here in the Darien
