Abstract

Wild King Cobras, Ophiophagus hannah, are known to prey almost exclusively on snakes. We observed opportunistic ingestion of a plastic bag by a radio-tracked adult male O. hannah, which was detrimental to the health of the individual and likely lead to its death. Our observation demonstrates that improper disposal of food and plastic waste can be a threat to snakes, highlighting the need to maintain a waste-free environment, especially in areas inhabited by vulnerable species.

泰国东北部一条野生眼镜王蛇(蛇目:蛇科)，1836年吞食一个塑料袋后的死亡率

众所周知，野生眼镜王蛇，即蛇王蛇，几乎只捕食蛇。我们观察到一只被无线电追踪到的成年雄雄O. hannah偶然摄入了一个塑料袋，这对个体的健康有害，并可能导致其死亡。我们的观察表明，处理不当的食物和塑料垃圾可能对蛇构成威胁，这凸显了保持无废物环境的必要性，特别是在脆弱物种居住的地区。

期刊介绍： AHR aims to provide a forum for herpetologists and related scientists interested in conducting international academic exchanges and joint studies, and a platform for introducing their newly made scientific and technological data, and publishing their research results and achievements in the world, but focusing on the Asian-Pacific Region. The principal criteria of AHR for acceptance of articles for publication are the quality and significance of the research, breadth of interest of the work to the readership, and the clarity and effectiveness of communication. AHR welcomes submission of manuscripts from authors in all countries of the world, though with a focus on the herpetological studies in the Asian and Pacific Region, including major articles, shorter communications and review articles.
