Indian cobra
The Indian cobra is a heavy-bodied venomous snake that lives across the Indian subcontinent. It is famous for the large hood it spreads when threatened. It is one of the four snakes responsible for the most snakebites in India and Sri Lanka, so knowing how to recognise it matters.1

Sida loo aqoonsado
- A relatively large hood, which it expands when threatened.1
- Many individuals have a hood mark on the back of the hood: two round eye-like patterns joined by a curved line, looking like a pair of spectacles.1
- Colour varies widely. The underside can be grey, yellow, tan, brown, reddish or black, and many adults have salt-and-pepper speckles on the upper scales.1
- Adults in southern Pakistan are often uniformly black on top, with a light underside.1
Inta badan lagu khaldaa: The Oriental rat snake is often mistaken for this cobra, but it is much longer and has a more ridged-looking body. The monocled cobra has an O-shaped pattern on the back of its hood, while the Indian cobra has a spectacles-shaped pattern. The Caspian cobra can be confused with it where they share range in Pakistan and Afghanistan, but it is never fully black.1
Awoodda sunta

Maxay samaysaa suntiisa (qaniin ama mudid)?
Its venom mainly contains a powerful neurotoxin, which attacks the nerves, and a cardiotoxin, which harms the heart. The neurotoxin paralyses muscles, and severe bites can lead to respiratory failure (breathing failure) or cardiac arrest (the heart stopping). Symptoms may appear between 15 minutes and two hours after a bite. Early signs include severe local pain and swelling that spreads up the limb, followed by darkening and blistering of the skin, as well as headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness and drowsiness.1

Khatarta dadka: DilaMid ka mid ah xayawaanka ugu khatarta badan adduunka.It is responsible for many snakebites and most snakebite cases in Bangladesh. In one study, untreated bite victims had a mortality rate of about 20–30%. In another study of patients who received prompt medical treatment, the rate was 9%. The amount of venom delivered varies from bite to bite.1

Haddii uu qaniino
- Prompt medical treatment and antivenom reduce deaths from this snake's bites. Polyvalent serum, an antivenom that works against several snake species, is available for treating these bites.1
