Jinsi ya kumtambua

  • Dark brown to black body with zebra-like vertical whitish or light yellow stripes along the back1
  • The stripes are generally evenly spaced and may be complete or broken into pieces1
  • Head and hood are uniformly dark brown or black1
  • Scales on the underside range from white to orange1
  • Young snakes are lighter in colour than adults1

Mara nyingi huchanganywa na: It was long thought to be a subspecies of the black-necked spitting cobra (Naja nigricollis), but differences in body shape and genes led to it being recognised as a separate species. Both of its subspecies are smaller than the black-necked spitting cobra. The subspecies known as the black spitting cobra is solid black, with no stripes.1

Nguvu ya sumu

Hunyunyiza au kutema

Hunyunyiza au kutema kimiminika kinachowasha kwa washambulizi.

Sumu yake hufanya nini?

Its venom can cause massive bleeding inside the body, tissue death (necrosis) and paralysis. The snake can also spit its venom with great accuracy, which can cause temporary or permanent blindness if it hits the eyes.1

Ana hatari gani kwa watu?

Hatari kwa watu: Hatari sanaAnaweza kumuua mtu asiyepata matibabu.

Most bites happen at night, while victims are asleep, because the snake often enters homes. Its spitting can cause blindness.1

Hufanya nini akiogopa?

It spits venom at enemies with great accuracy, and like other cobras it can flatten its head and neck into a hood.1

Akiuma au kutema

  • Mweke mtu bila kutikisika na mtulivu, ondoa pete na vitu vinavyobana, na umpeleke hospitali haraka: dawa ya kuzuia sumu ndiyo tiba.
  • Sumu ikitemewa machoni, yasafishe mara moja kwa maji mengi safi.

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 au akikutemea sumu machoni: 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
