Mandalay spitting cobra
The Mandalay spitting cobra is a heavy-bodied cobra that lives only in the dry central part of Myanmar. Like other spitting cobras, it can squirt venom at a threat from a distance, so it is important to know what it looks like and keep well away from it.1

怎麼認出牠
- Yellowish-brown to dull brown body with darker brownish mottling1
- Pale belly with some dark speckling1
- Often dark under the chin and throat, then a paler area, then 2 or 3 dark bands across the underside of the hood1
- Usually no obvious markings on the top of the hood, though some juveniles may have a spectacle-shaped mark1
毒液力量
牠會對攻擊者噴出或吐出刺痛的液體。
牠的毒液有什麼作用?
Nothing is known about the venom of this particular species. As a spitting cobra, its venom is likely to be cytotoxic, meaning it damages body cells, and post-synaptic neurotoxic, meaning it attacks the nerves at the junction where they meet muscle.1
牠對人有多危險?
對人的危險: 非常危險如果沒有治療,牠可能會害死一個人。It is alert and defensive, and very little provocation is needed to make it spit. When threatened it may also charge forward, hiss loudly and try to bite.1
牠害怕時會做什麼?
It raises the front of its body, spreads a broad hood, hisses loudly, and may spit venom at least 2 m or charge and bite.1
如果牠咬人或噴毒液
- 讓傷者保持不動和冷靜,取下戒指和緊身的東西,並趕快送醫院:抗毒血清就是治療方法。
- 如果毒液噴進眼睛,立刻用大量乾淨的水沖洗眼睛。
一定要先打緊急電話(112、000、911)。這是一般急救指引,不是醫療建議。 急救基本知識
注意安全
- 絕對不要碰、抓或捉弄野生動物,就算是很小的動物,就算牠看起來在睡覺或已經死了也一樣。
- 給牠空間。如果遇到了,保持冷靜,慢慢往後退,讓牠自己離開。
- 如果被牠咬了,或毒液噴進你的眼睛:保持冷靜,保持不動,打緊急電話(112、000、911)或趕快去醫院。記住牠的樣子,有照片會很有幫助。
牠不是想來抓你。牠用毒液來捕捉食物或保護自己,而且牠更想躲起來。 更多安全知識
