The shield-nosed cobra is a venomous snake from the cobra family, Elapidae. It lives in dry, sandy savanna across southern Africa. It is a night-time digger that spends much of its life underground, and its venom is strong enough to be a serious danger to people.1

Kako jo prepoznaš

Adults have an average snout-to-vent length of 63.5 cm.1
It has a uniquely large rostral scale, the scale at the tip of the snout, which helps it dig.1
Its dorsal (back) scales are arranged in 21 to 25 rows at midbody.1
The scales on the rear part of the body are keeled, meaning they have a ridge along the middle.1
It is nocturnal, so it is mostly active at night.1

Nevarnost za ljudi: ResnoPo ugrizu je potreben zdravnik. Smrtni primeri so zelo redki.

The shield-nosed cobra is highly venomous. Its bite has caused at least one reported human death, even though it has a fairly low tendency to bite.1

Če ugrizne

No antivenin is available for this species. Any bite or venom spat by any elapid snake should be treated as an urgent medical emergency.1
Poškodovanca drži pri miru in ga pomirjaj, odstrani prstane in tesne stvari ter ga hitro odpelji v bolnišnico: zdravljenje je protistrup.

Ostani varen

Nikoli se ne dotikaj divje živali, je ne lovi in je ne draži, tudi če je majhna in tudi če je videti, kot da spi ali je mrtva.
Pusti ji prostor. Če jo srečaš, ostani miren, počasi stopi nazaj in jo pusti, da gre svojo pot.
Če te ugrizne: ostani miren, ne premikaj se, pokliči številko za klic v sili (112, 000, 911) ali hitro pojdi v bolnišnico. Zapomni si, kako je izgledala, fotografija pomaga.

Ne preži nate. Strup uporablja, da ulovi hrano ali se zaščiti, in se veliko raje skrije. Več o varnosti

Dejstva

Its skull has a specialised structure, and its uniquely large rostral scale makes it very good at digging and tunnelling.1

The female may stay coiled around her eggs after laying them, guarding the clutch.1

The shield-nosed cobra can live for 20 to 28 years in captivity, but this age is normally not reached in the wild because of predation, accidents and other dangers.1
