咬伤

The brown forest cobra is a snake that lives in forests, thickets and wooded grasslands in East and Central Africa. It was once thought to be the same animal as the forest cobra, but scientists now count it as a separate species. Its brown back and pale throat help people tell it apart from its close relatives.1

怎样认出它

Most adults have a brown front half that gradually turns black towards the tail.1
The brown parts often have darker spots or mottling.1
The sides and underside of the head are light, usually cream-coloured.1
The lip scales have dark edges, although these can be faint in some populations.1
Adults from the Lake Victoria area and parts of the Congo Basin are black along the whole back.1

常被误认为： It is often confused with the forest cobra (Naja melanoleuca). The brown forest cobra usually has a brownish front half, often with darker spots, and a light underside that may have faint banding.1

事实

The longest recorded brown forest cobra measured 269 cm.1

Adults from the Lake Victoria area and parts of the Congo Basin are entirely black on the back.1

For a long time it was thought to be the same as the forest cobra, or a subspecies of it, until differences in its body shape and genes showed it is a separate species.1
