• W2187527830 abstract "Snake diversity of the Oban Division of Cross River National Park of Nigeria was surveyed with the aim of studying their seasonal mortality, adaptive strategies, feeding behaviour and implications on the environment. Through 24 field assistants who are conversant with the study area, specimens of dead snakes were collected on daily basis from six selected communities adjoining the Oban Division of Cross River National Park (CRNP). Specimens were also collected from Laboratories of the University of Calabar and Hospitals, and the museum of the Okwango Division of CRNP. Measurements of relevant morphological features such as head length, head width, inter orbital length, snout length, vent length and tail length were taken in centimetres using measuring tape and ruler. Ventral scales were counted, and sexes were determined by examining the anal portion of specimens. Appearances of pupils were also recorded. With these information, collected specimens were identified using standard keys, and vernacular names of snakes were determined through in – depth interview with selected individuals quite knowledgeable about snakes and their uses in the localities. Data obtained were analysed using descriptive statistics in form of percentages and tables. Results showed that a total of 960 individuals of dead snakes comprising 56 species in 6 families and 32 genera were observed. This includes such species as Thrasops Jacksonii which hitherto had not been recorded in the Niger Delta. These 56 species of snake observed in the Oban division of Cross River National Park, is the highest in snake diversity recorded in the Niger Delta Region and south eastern Nigeria. Atheris squamiger, Psammophis phillipsii and Caustus maculates were among typical savanna species of snakes observed in the study area. From all the snakes observed, only 6 species were dangerous enough to pose threat to human. Snake population density was low. Psammophis philipsii was more predominant in all seasons with a total of 211 (22.0%) followed by Naja nigricolis with a total individual of 154 (16.0%) snakes. Snake mortality peaked during the dry season (105 snakes) and was lower in the wet season (88 snakes)." @default.
