The Mozambique spitting cobra is a highly venomous snake from southern and eastern Africa. It lives mostly in savanna, the open grassy country of hot regions. It is special because it can spit its venom accurately, and its bite and venom are very dangerous.1

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

Its venom contains a postsynaptic neurotoxin, which attacks the nerves, and a cytotoxin, which destroys cells. Its bite causes severe destruction of the tissue around the wound. Venom that gets into the eyes can cause impaired vision or blindness. Its venom is about as toxic as that of the Mojave rattlesnake.1

E kotsi hakae ho batho?

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

It is considered one of the most dangerous snakes in Africa. Only a few people have died from its bites, but survivors are mostly left disfigured.1

E etsang ha e tshohile?

When confronted at close range, it rears up, spreads its hood and spits, usually from a raised position. It may also bite, or feign death to avoid further disturbance.1
