Goldie's tree cobra is a large, glossy black snake that lives in the trees, on the ground and in water across Central and Western Africa. It is one of the most venomous snakes in Africa, so it is important to know what it looks like and to keep well away from it.1

Its venom is mainly a neurotoxin, which attacks the nerves, as in most cobras. It acts quickly and is extremely potent. Bite symptoms include swelling and stinging pain around the wound, numbness of the limbs and lips, severe difficulty breathing, heavy sweating and blurred vision. Victims may die of respiratory failure, which means the lungs stop working properly.1

It is one of the most toxic and deadly snakes in Africa. Its venom can easily kill a person, and a number of people are killed by this species each year.1

E etsang ha e tshohile?

When threatened it rears up and spreads its narrow hood, and if provoked further it may bite; if restrained, it may also use its tail spike to defend itself.1
