The Mali cobra is a spitting cobra from West Africa. It lives in grasslands, open forests and savannas, and it can spit venom at anything it sees as a threat. Knowing what it looks like and how it behaves helps people keep a safe distance.1

  • It is active both day and night, but young snakes are only active during the day.1
  • It is mostly daytime and ground-dwelling, but it often climbs into small bushes.1

Its venom is spat towards opponents, rather than being delivered only by a bite. The venom contains postsynaptic neurotoxins, which attack the nerves, and cardiotoxins, which harm the heart. Together they cause cytotoxic activity, meaning they damage cells.1

It will bite if it is handled or accidentally stepped on, and it will spit venom if it is provoked further.1

Lan lay def bu tiitee?

When disturbed it tries to escape quickly to cover. If cornered, it rears up and spreads its hood, and if provoked further it spits venom.1

Xibaar

1

The Mali cobra spits its venom at its opponents rather than relying only on biting.1

2

Its venom contains two kinds of toxin: one that attacks the nerves and one that harms the heart.1

3

Adults are active by both day and night, while juveniles come out only in daylight.1

4

It often climbs into small bushes, so it is not only a ground-dweller.1
