Ular kukri
ular
(Dialihkan dari Oligodon)
Ular kukri adalah sebutan untuk semua jenis ular kolubrid yang diklasifikasikan dalam genus Oligodon. Ular-ular ini tersebar luas di daerah tropis Asia bagian selatan dan tenggara. Dalam bahasa Inggris disebut Kukri snake. Sebutan "ular kukri" mengacu pada gigi di bagian belakang rahang atasnya yang berbentuk seperti pisau kukri, yaitu pisau tradisional Nepal. Meskipun gigitannya menimbulkan rasa sakit, ular kukri tidak berbisa. Sedangkan, nama ilmiah genusnya adalah Oligodon, berasal dari kata Oligos="sedikit", dan Odont="gigi", mengacu pada jumlah giginya yang hanya sedikit.[1][2][3]
