West African banded cobra
The West African banded cobra is a large, venomous snake that lives in the savannas and woodlands of West Africa. It is a member of the cobra genus Naja. Scientists only recently recognised it as its own species, separate from the forest cobra.1

怎麼認出牠
- Brownish black or black on its upper body1
- Has 3 to 8 broad, cream-coloured crossbands across the body1
- Each cream band is partly divided by a narrow black crossband1
- Has 19 scale rows around the middle of the body1
- Has 211 to 226 ventral (belly) scales and 67 to 73 subcaudal (under-tail) scales1
常被誤認為: It was once thought to be the same animal as the forest cobra (Naja melanoleuca). The West African banded cobra differs in having 3 to 8 broad, semi-divided light bands across the front part of its body.1
毒液力量
咬的時候,毒液會從毒牙或牙齒出來。
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。
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: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

小知識
The longest recorded West African banded cobra measured 223 cm.1
For a long time it was thought to be the same species as the forest cobra, until differences in its shape and genes showed it is a separate species.1
Its name reflects the broad, pale bands across its body, which set it apart from the forest cobra.1
