The zebra spitting cobra is a venomous snake with dark stripes across its body. It lives in the deserts and drier parts of southern Africa, and it is often found near people, including inside homes. It can spit venom at its enemies, which makes it a snake to respect.1

Ni ngay ko xàmmee

  • Dark brown to black body with zebra-like vertical whitish or light yellow stripes along the back1
  • The stripes are generally evenly spaced and may be complete or broken into pieces1
  • Head and hood are uniformly dark brown or black1
  • Scales on the underside range from white to orange1
  • Young snakes are lighter in colour than adults1

Ñu ngi koy faral di jaxasoo ak: It was long thought to be a subspecies of the black-necked spitting cobra (Naja nigricollis), but differences in body shape and genes led to it being recognised as a separate species. Both of its subspecies are smaller than the black-necked spitting cobra. The subspecies known as the black spitting cobra is solid black, with no stripes.1

Its venom can cause massive bleeding inside the body, tissue death (necrosis) and paralysis. The snake can also spit its venom with great accuracy, which can cause temporary or permanent blindness if it hits the eyes.1

Musiba ci nit: Am na musiba loolMën na rey nit ku ñu fajul.

Most bites happen at night, while victims are asleep, because the snake often enters homes. Its spitting can cause blindness.1

Lan lay def bu tiitee?

It spits venom at enemies with great accuracy, and like other cobras it can flatten its head and neck into a hood.1
