Nota de aplicación
Family containing around 300 species of venomous snakes, characterized by short fangs fixed in the front of the upper jaw. Terrestrial elapids generally resemble the more abundant colubrids, whereas aquatic elapids may possess paddle-shaped tails and other structures adapted to marine environments. Most species lay eggs; a few, chiefly in Australia, bear living young.
