Goldie's tree cobra
Goldie's tree cobra is a large, glossy black snake that lives in the trees, on the ground and in water across Central and Western Africa. It is one of the most venomous snakes in Africa, so it is important to know what it looks like and to keep well away from it.1

- Its dorsal (upper) body colour is glossy black.1
- It is a long, slim snake, measuring 2.2 to 2.7 m including the tail.1
- It has a small head with exceptionally large eyes.1
- It has a long, spiky tail, which helps it move through trees.1
