Ho loma

Chefo ya yona (eo e e kenyang ka ho loma kapa ho hlaba) e etsang?

Its venom is mainly a potent neurotoxin, which attacks the nerves. It may also contain cardiotoxic components, which harm the heart. Because it has moderately large size and relatively large fangs, it can inject a large volume of venom in a single bite.1

Kotsi ho batho: E kotsi haholoE ka bolaya motho ya sa fumaneng kalafo.

Bites are rare, but they have been known to cause human deaths.1

E etsang ha e tshohile?

When provoked it lifts its front body off the ground, spreads its hood and takes a defensive posture, but it will flee if it gets the chance, and it sometimes feigns death.1
