Rinkhals
The rinkhals is a venomous snake that lives in southern Africa. It is often called the ring-necked spitting cobra, but it is not a true cobra. It is known for spitting venom at threats rather than relying on its bite.1

Sida loo aqoonsado
- Its belly is dark, with one or two light-coloured crossbands on the throat.1
- Its usual total length, including the tail, is 90 to 110 cm.1
- Colour varies. Some individuals are mostly black, while others are striped.1
- When distressed, it spreads its hood to show a striped neck.1
- Its dorsal scales are keeled, which means they have a ridge down the middle.1
Inta badan lagu khaldaa: It closely resembles true cobras, which belong to the genus Naja. Its keeled dorsal scales and the lack of solid teeth on the maxilla (upper jaw bone) set it apart, and these differences are why it is placed in its own genus, Hemachatus.1
Awoodda sunta
Wuxuu weerarkiisa ku buufiyaa ama ku tufaa dareere mudda.
Maxay samaysaa suntiisa (qaniin ama mudid)?
Its venom is neurotoxic, meaning it attacks the nerves, and partially cytotoxic, meaning it destroys body tissue. A bite causes great pain and can lead to necrosis (death of tissue). General symptoms include drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, violent abdominal pain, cramps and vertigo, and local swelling and bruising occur in about a quarter of cases.1

Most bites happen when people try to handle it. No fatality from a rinkhals bite has been recorded in over 40 years.1

Muxuu sameeyaa marka uu baqo?
When threatened, it spreads its hood, hisses and lunges while spitting venom accurately up to 3 m, usually aiming at the face and eyes. If other defences fail, it may bite, and it can also roll over with its mouth open and tongue out.1
Haddii uu qaniino ama tufo
- Polyvalent antivenom is effective for treating rinkhals envenomation. If venom gets into the eyes, it causes great pain and inflammation, and corneal damage can occur if left untreated. Timely first aid and eye-washing will usually lead to recovery after a few days.1

Badbaado
- Weligaa ha taaban, ha qaban, hana ku ciyaarin xayawaan duurjoog ah, xitaa mid yar, xitaa haddii uu u muuqdo inuu hurdo ama dhintay.
- Meel u bannee. Haddii aad mid la kulanto, deg, tartiib dib ugu noqo oo u daa inuu jidkiisa maro.
- Haddii mid ku qaniino ama sun indhahaaga ku tufo: deg, ha dhaqaaqin, wac lambarka gurmadka degdegga ah (112, 000, 911) ama si degdeg ah u tag isbitaalka. Xusuuso sida uu u egyahay, sawir ayaa caawiya.

Xaqiiqooyin
When threatened, it can play dead by rolling onto its back with its mouth open and tongue out. This behaviour, called thanatosis, is also seen in some other snakes.1
It can spit venom accurately at targets up to 3 m away and has good control over its venom glands.1
Unlike true cobras, which lay eggs, it gives birth to live young.1
It is not a true cobra. It belongs to its own genus, Hemachatus, which has only one species.1
Beeniye-jabiye
Khuraafaad: The rinkhals is a true cobra.
Run: It bears a great resemblance to true cobras, but it belongs to the genus Hemachatus rather than Naja, so it is not a true cobra.1
