โจ๐ฆ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฆ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ธ๐ถ๐ป๐ด: Although generally slow-moving, puff adders can strike rapidly and with great precision when provoked.
โจ ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ด๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ผ ๐๐๐บ๐ฎ๐ป๐: Despite their venomous bite, puff adders are generally not aggressive and will only strike if they feel threatened. However, due to their excellent camouflage, they are responsible for more snakebites in Africa than any other snake species.
โจ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐:They primarily feed on small mammals, birds, amphibians, and other reptiles, using their venom to immobilize prey before swallowing it whole.
