Its typical habitat is woodlands, shrublands, grasslands and mangroves. It is adaptable and can survive in many other kinds of habitat. It is terrestrial, so it lives on the ground, and it is active by day and at dusk.1

  • The hood marking varies. It can look like spectacles, a mask, a horseshoe or the letter O, and it is often linked to a pale throat area on at least one side.1
  • The body is iridescent black, with widely spaced yellow double lines running across it.1
  • The underside is pearl or slate-coloured. The upper colour is usually brown, grey or black, sometimes with narrow pale lines, which are especially clear in young snakes.1
  • Typical adults are 1.2 to 1.5 metres long.1

Ñu ngi koy faral di jaxasoo ak: It is sometimes confused with the monocled cobra (Naja kaouthia). The Chinese cobra has lower counts of ventral and subcaudal scales, which are the belly and tail scales. Sex should be taken into account when comparing these counts.1

The Chinese cobra is a highly venomous member of the true cobras. Local symptoms at the bite include darkening of the wound, redness, swelling, pain and numbness, and blisters and necrosis (death of tissue) almost always follow. Necrosis can last for years after the person has otherwise recovered. Whole-body symptoms can include chest discomfort, fever, sore throat, difficulty swallowing, loss of voice, weak limbs, unsteady walking, lockjaw and difficulty breathing.1
