**Paprastoji angis** (*Vipera berus*) – angių (*Viperidae*) šeimos roplys.

Lietuvoje angis dar kitaip vadinama: *gyvatė marguolė*, *margoji gyvatė, pantinė gyvatė.* Tai vienintelis nuodingas Lietuvos roplys. Kūno viršus pilkas, pilkai ar tamsiai rudas, 75–80 cm. Išilgai nugaros vingiuoja ruda ar juoda juosta. Galva plati, trikampė, ant jos yra X formos raštas. Gyvavedė.

Lietuvoje gan dažna. Aptinkama drėgnuose miškuose, miško aikštelėse, kirtavietėse, pamiškėse, aukštapelkėse, paežerėse ir vietose, kur auga aukšta žolė. Mėgsta šiltas ir saulėtas vietas. Pasižymi sėslumu: juda aplink savo gyvenamąją vietą 60-100 metrų spinduliu. Žiemoja grupėmis graužikų, kurmių urvuose, po kelmais. Žiemojimo laikas – nuo rugsėjo ar spalio iki balandžio mėnesio. Anksčiau buvo įprasti pelkėtų vietovių ropliai. Naikinant pelkes, šių gyvačių labai sumažėjo, vietomis tapo retos ar net išnyko.

Paprastoji angis
Gyvatė atsiveda jauniklius rugpjūčio mėnesį. Ką tik gimusios angys siekia 16-18 cm, iš pat pradžių yra nuodingos.

Roplys pradeda medžioti prietemoje, yra aktyviausias pirmomis nakties valandomis. Minta smulkiais graužikais (pelėnais, pelėmis), driežais, varlėmis, kiaušiniais. Jaunos paprastosios angys minta mažesniu grobiu – vabzdžiais, kirminais. Žmogaus nepuola, tačiau užminta ar pajudinta gali skaudžiai įgelti. Įkandimas paprastai nėra mirtinas. Gyvatė gelia dantimis, o kaišiodama dvišaką liežuvį uodžia kvapus.

Paprastosios angies priešai gamtoje – lapės, barsukai, ereliai, pelėdos, ežiai.

Visoje Europoje saugoma pagal Berno konvenciją (III kategorija).

  

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was with God in the beginning. 3Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

6There was a man sent from God whose name was John. 7He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. 8He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.

9The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. 10He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— 13children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.

14The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

15(John testified concerning him. He cried out, saying, "This is the one I spoke about when I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’ ") 16Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given. 17For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.

John the Baptist Denies Being the Messiah

19Now this was John’s testimony when the Jewish leaders in Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him who he was. 20He did not fail to confess, but confessed freely, "I am not the Messiah."

21They asked him, "Then who are you? Are you Elijah?"

He said, "I am not."

"Are you the Prophet?"

He answered, "No."

22Finally they said, "Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"

23John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet, "I am the voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way for the Lord.’ "

24Now the Pharisees who had been sent 25questioned him, "Why then do you baptize if you are not the Messiah, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"

26"I baptize with water," John replied, "but among you stands one you do not know. 27He is the one who comes after me, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie."

28This all happened at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

John Testifies About Jesus

29The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! 30This is the one I meant when I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’ 31I myself did not know him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that he might be revealed to Israel."

32Then John gave this testimony: "I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him. 33And I myself did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit come down
