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

Ñu ngi koy faral di jaxasoo ak: Its close relatives Naja annulata and Naja christyi are semiaquatic African cobras that can reach about 2.5 m. The dwarf water cobra typically stays under 1 m, so its small size is a key difference.1
