Is quick to strike and to spray venom, usually aiming for the face and eyes.1

常被误认为： It is often compared with its northern relative, the Northern Philippines cobra. The Samar cobra is more reluctant to spit venom than that species.1

毒液之力

咬伤

它咬的时候，毒液通过毒牙或牙齿出来。

它的毒液会造成什么？

Its venom is dominated by three-finger toxins, which make up about 90% of the venom proteins. This is the highest three-finger toxin level recorded in any snake venom. The venom also contains snake venom metalloproteinases and phospholipases A2, which damage tissue. If venom gets in the eyes, it causes extreme pain and mechanical damage to the eyeball, and can cause permanent blindness if not properly flushed out.1

它对人有多危险？

对人的危险: 非常危险不治疗可能会害死人。

It is described as highly venomous. Its bite and spitting venom are both dangerous, and its habit of living near people means it often comes into conflict with them.1

它害怕时会做什么？

It is nervous and quick to strike, and it sprays venom at the face and eyes when threatened.1

如果它咬人或吐毒液

If venom gets in the eyes, it must be flushed out thoroughly with lots of clean water, as incomplete flushing can lead to permanent blindness. Any bite needs urgent hospital care.1
