The dwarf water cobra is a small, venomous snake found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is an aquatic cobra, so it spends time in and around water. It is special because it is much smaller than its close relatives in Africa.1

Ho e tseba jwang

  • Black with small white or yellowish spots1
  • Whitish belly1
  • Black underside of the tail1
  • Straight rows of scales along its back1
  • Usually no longer than 1 m1

Hangata e ferekanngwa le: Its close relatives Naja annulata and Naja christyi are semiaquatic African cobras that can reach about 2.5 m. The dwarf water cobra typically stays under 1 m, so its small size is a key difference.1
