kufanelekile ukwazi

Iinyaniso

It is one of the few cobras that can spit venom at a threat, and it does so readily.1

Cardiotoxins make up about 60% of its venom by dry weight, while neurotoxins make up only about 4.5%.1

The Komodo dragon preys on this cobra, which makes it easy prey for that lizard.1

Hatchlings are completely independent from birth, so no parent cares for them.1

Umqhekezi weentsomi

Intsomi: Komodo specimens are reluctant to spit.

Inyaniso: Field observations suggest the opposite: they do spit.1
