  • It is a long, slim snake, measuring 2.2 to 2.7 m including the tail.1
  • It has a small head with exceptionally large eyes.1
  • It has a long, spiky tail, which helps it move through trees.1
  • When threatened, it rears up and spreads a cobra-like hood, which is much narrower than that of Naja naja.1

它的毒液会造成什么?

Its venom is mainly a neurotoxin, which attacks the nerves, as in most cobras. It acts quickly and is extremely potent. Bite symptoms include swelling and stinging pain around the wound, numbness of the limbs and lips, severe difficulty breathing, heavy sweating and blurred vision. Victims may die of respiratory failure, which means the lungs stop working properly.1
