Goldie's tree cobra
Goldie's tree cobra is a large, glossy black snake that lives in the trees, on the ground and in water across Central and Western Africa. It is one of the most venomous snakes in Africa, so it is important to know what it looks like and to keep well away from it.1

Its venom is mainly a neurotoxin, which attacks the nerves, as in most cobras. It acts quickly and is extremely potent. Bite symptoms include swelling and stinging pain around the wound, numbness of the limbs and lips, severe difficulty breathing, heavy sweating and blurred vision. Victims may die of respiratory failure, which means the lungs stop working properly.1
