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

Co renconuscher el

- It is a long, slim snake, measuring 2.2 to 2.7 m including the tail.1
- It has a small head with exceptionally large eyes.1
- It has a long, spiky tail, which helps it move through trees.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

When threatened it rears up and spreads its narrow hood, and if provoked further it may bite; if restrained, it may also use its tail spike to defend itself.1
