The shield-nosed cobra is a venomous snake from the cobra family, Elapidae. It lives in dry, sandy savanna across southern Africa. It is a night-time digger that spends much of its life underground, and its venom is strong enough to be a serious danger to people.1

Tsela ya go e lemoga

  • Adults have an average snout-to-vent length of 63.5 cm.1
  • It has a uniquely large rostral scale, the scale at the tip of the snout, which helps it dig.1
  • Its dorsal (back) scales are arranged in 21 to 25 rows at midbody.1
  • The scales on the rear part of the body are keeled, meaning they have a ridge along the middle.1
  • It is nocturnal, so it is mostly active at night.1

The shield-nosed cobra is highly venomous. Its bite has caused at least one reported human death, even though it has a fairly low tendency to bite.1

Dintlha

1

Its skull has a specialised structure, and its uniquely large rostral scale makes it very good at digging and tunnelling.1

2

The female may stay coiled around her eggs after laying them, guarding the clutch.1

3

The shield-nosed cobra can live for 20 to 28 years in captivity, but this age is normally not reached in the wild because of predation, accidents and other dangers.1
