The dwarf water cobra is a small, venomous snake found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is an aquatic cobra, so it spends time in and around water. It is special because it is much smaller than its close relatives in Africa.1

  • Whitish belly1
  • Black underside of the tail1
  • Straight rows of scales along its back1
  • Usually no longer than 1 m1
