GABOON PUFF ADDER. The Gaboon Puff Adder
takes its name from the river Gabun, a tributary of the
Congo. Ex-president Roosevelt and party expect to
spend considerable time in the regions where these
snakes abound. The Puff Adder hisses with a puffing
sound. It has an unusually broad triangular head, due
to the excessive size of its poison sacs.
Its bite is very
deadly, being perhaps the most quickly fatal of any
serpent known, and it is very ugly in appearance. It
attains a length of four or five feet, and is often as
thick as a man's arm. In color it is yellowish brown
checkered with reddish brown and white.
