It is the same yararacusú, from the Amazon. It is the name given in Venezuela to a very venomous snake of the genus Bothrops. Although it abounds in a large sector of the Amazon rainforest, its most frequent habitat is the Paranaense region. Its venom is highly toxic and if not taken care of quickly, an offdic accident of this nature is usually fatal. In Colombia, this kind of snakes are known as Cuatronarices, Size X, Mapaná or Mapanare. In Central America they are known as Nauyaca ( Nahuatl), Ik'bolay (Maya queqchi ) and Cuaima in Venezuela. Also in some parts of Brazil and Bolivia they are called Yaracusú. By extension it is also called in Venezuela, quaima, a very jealous, aggressive and cruel woman. There are also sites in Venezuela that tell the rattlesnake and in general all the venomous snakes.
