Shield-nosed cobra
KuumwaThe shield-nosed cobra is a venomous snake from the cobra family, Elapidae. It lives in dry, sandy savanna across southern Africa. It is a night-time digger that spends much of its life underground, and its venom is strong enough to be a serious danger to people.1
Jinsi ya kumtambua
- Adults have an average snout-to-vent length of 63.5 cm.1
- It has a uniquely large rostral scale, the scale at the tip of the snout, which helps it dig.1
- Its dorsal (back) scales are arranged in 21 to 25 rows at midbody.1
- The scales on the rear part of the body are keeled, meaning they have a ridge along the middle.1
- It is nocturnal, so it is mostly active at night.1
Nguvu ya sumu
Sumu hutoka kupitia meno yake ya sumu au meno anapouma.
Sumu yake hufanya nini?
Its venom is highly neurotoxic, meaning it attacks the nerves. Symptoms include slurred speech, drooping eyelids (ptosis) and partial paralysis.1
Ana hatari gani kwa watu?
Hatari kwa watu: MbayaKuumwa kunahitaji daktari. Vifo ni nadra sana.The shield-nosed cobra is highly venomous. Its bite has caused at least one reported human death, even though it has a fairly low tendency to bite.1
Akiuma
- No antivenin is available for this species. Any bite or venom spat by any elapid snake should be treated as an urgent medical emergency.1
- Mweke mtu bila kutikisika na mtulivu, ondoa pete na vitu vinavyobana, na umpeleke hospitali haraka: dawa ya kuzuia sumu ndiyo tiba.
Daima piga namba ya dharura kwanza (112, 000, 911). Huu ni mwongozo wa jumla wa huduma ya kwanza, si ushauri wa kitabibu. Misingi ya huduma ya kwanza
Kaa salama
- Kamwe usimguse, kumkamata wala kumchokoza mnyama wa porini, hata akiwa mdogo, na hata akionekana amelala au amekufa.
- Mpe nafasi. Ukikutana naye, tulia, rudi nyuma polepole na umwache aende zake.
- Akikuuma: tulia, usitikisike, piga namba yako ya dharura (112, 000, 911) au nenda hospitali haraka. Kumbuka alivyoonekana, picha husaidia.
Hakuwindi wewe. Hutumia sumu yake kukamata chakula au kujilinda, na hupendelea zaidi kujificha. Zaidi kuhusu kukaa salama

Ana kasi gani?
Ukweli
Its skull has a specialised structure, and its uniquely large rostral scale makes it very good at digging and tunnelling.1
The female may stay coiled around her eggs after laying them, guarding the clutch.1
The shield-nosed cobra can live for 20 to 28 years in captivity, but this age is normally not reached in the wild because of predation, accidents and other dangers.1
