The Egyptian cobra is one of the most venomous snakes in Northern Africa. It lives across much of North Africa and the savannas of West Africa, and it often lives close to people, sometimes entering villages and houses. Its bite is dangerous, so it is important to know what it looks like.1

Its venom is mainly made of neurotoxins, which attack the nerves, and cytotoxins, which damage cells. The venom stops nerve signals reaching the muscles, and in later stages it also affects the heart and lungs, which can lead to death from respiratory failure. A bite causes local pain, severe swelling, bruising, blistering and tissue death, and may also cause headache, vomiting, dizziness, convulsions or paralysis.1

The venom is strong enough to kill a person. A single bite can release an average of 175 to 300 mg of venom. Its venom is slow-acting and does not always cause death. Venom from northern African populations, especially from Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria and Libya, is more potent than venom from southern and western populations.1

Get to a hospital fast: antivenom is the treatment. In a 2018 case, a bitten man was evacuated to Egypt, treated with antivenom and made a full recovery.1

Most ancient sources blame an Egyptian cobra for the death of Cleopatra and her two handmaidens, though recent researchers have questioned this.1

Ancient Egyptian pharaohs wore a stylised cobra, the uraeus, on their diadem as a symbol of sovereignty.1

In 2006, a pet cobra escaped in Toronto and forced the evacuation of a house for more than five months.1

In 2011, a venomous female cobra went missing from the Bronx Zoo and was found in a dark corner of the reptile house six days later. Staff named her "Mia", for "missing in action".1

It is often found in water, and there are records of it swimming in the Mediterranean Sea.1

ጽውጽዋይ ዝሰብር

ጽውጽዋይ፦ Egyptian cobras spit venom, like some other African cobras.

ሓቂ፦ This species does not spit venom. It delivers its venom by biting.1
