Senegalese cobra
The Senegalese cobra is a large, heavy snake that lives in West Africa. It is a venomous cobra, and it is special because scientists once thought it was the same snake as the Egyptian cobra, but it is now recognised as its own species.1

- Adults are uniformly dark grey-brown on the upper body, with slightly lighter lower flanks.1
- The throat is dark brown, and the underside is cream with dark grey-brown mottling.1
- Juveniles are grey with a black head and neck, and often have a light blotch on the back of the hood.1
- The light blotch usually disappears as the snake grows up, although a few keep it into adulthood.1
