The Mali cobra is a spitting cobra from West Africa. It lives in grasslands, open forests and savannas, and it can spit venom at anything it sees as a threat. Knowing what it looks like and how it behaves helps people keep a safe distance.1

E fafatsa kapa e tshwela mokedikedi o hlabang ho ba e hlaselang.

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

Its venom is spat towards opponents, rather than being delivered only by a bite. The venom contains postsynaptic neurotoxins, which attack the nerves, and cardiotoxins, which harm the heart. Together they cause cytotoxic activity, meaning they damage cells.1

E kotsi hakae ho batho?

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

It will bite if it is handled or accidentally stepped on, and it will spit venom if it is provoked further.1

E etsang ha e tshohile?

When disturbed it tries to escape quickly to cover. If cornered, it rears up and spreads its hood, and if provoked further it spits venom.1

Dintlha

1

The Mali cobra spits its venom at its opponents rather than relying only on biting.1

2

Its venom contains two kinds of toxin: one that attacks the nerves and one that harms the heart.1

3

Adults are active by both day and night, while juveniles come out only in daylight.1

4

It often climbs into small bushes, so it is not only a ground-dweller.1
