Hoe om dit te herken

  • Colour varies from black and yellow to green.1
  • Can grow up to 1.4 metres (4.6 ft) long.1
  • Has 17 to 25 scale rows around the hood.1
  • Is quick to strike and to spray venom, usually aiming for the face and eyes.1

Word dikwels verwar met: It is often compared with its northern relative, the Northern Philippines cobra. The Samar cobra is more reluctant to spit venom than that species.1

Gifkrag

Byte

Gif kom deur sy giftande of tande uit wanneer dit byt.

Wat doen sy gif as dit byt of steek?

Its venom is dominated by three-finger toxins, which make up about 90% of the venom proteins. This is the highest three-finger toxin level recorded in any snake venom. The venom also contains snake venom metalloproteinases and phospholipases A2, which damage tissue. If venom gets in the eyes, it causes extreme pain and mechanical damage to the eyeball, and can cause permanent blindness if not properly flushed out.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

Gevaar vir mense: Baie gevaarlikDit kan 'n mens doodmaak wat geen behandeling kry nie.

It is described as highly venomous. Its bite and spitting venom are both dangerous, and its habit of living near people means it often comes into conflict with them.1

Wat doen dit as dit bang is?

It is nervous and quick to strike, and it sprays venom at the face and eyes when threatened.1

As dit byt of spoeg

  • If venom gets in the eyes, it must be flushed out thoroughly with lots of clean water, as incomplete flushing can lead to permanent blindness. Any bite needs urgent hospital care.1
  • Hou die persoon stil en kalm, haal ringe en stywe goed af, en kom vinnig by 'n hospitaal uit: teengif is die behandeling.
  • As gif in die oë gespoeg is, spoel hulle dadelik met baie skoon water uit.

Bly veilig

  • Moet nooit aan 'n wilde dier raak, dit vang of terg nie, selfs nie 'n kleintjie nie, en selfs nie as dit lyk of dit slaap of dood is nie.
  • Gee dit spasie. As jy een raakloop, bly kalm, stap stadig terug en laat dit sy eie pad gaan.
  • As een jou byt of gif in jou oë spoeg: bly kalm, bly stil, bel jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911) of kom vinnig by 'n hospitaal uit. Onthou hoe dit gelyk het, 'n foto help.

Dit is nie uit om jou te kry nie. Dit gebruik sy gif om kos te vang of om homself te beskerm, en kruip baie eerder weg. Meer oor veilig bly
