Ubuthi buphuma ngamazinyo aso obuthi noma ngamazinyo uma siluma.

Ubuthi baso benzani?

Its venom has not been well studied, but it is believed to be dangerously neurotoxic, meaning it attacks the nerves, as most elapids' venoms do. Laboratory tests on mice showed that its venom is very potent, with some of the lowest lethal doses recorded for any African cobra studied so far.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Ingozi ebantwini: Kuyingozi kakhuluSingabulala umuntu ongatholi kwelashwa.

It is secretive and seldom met by people. It is generally not aggressive and bites only when provoked.1

Izindaba ezinhle: odokotela banomuthi (i-antivenom) noma indlela yokwelapha lokhu.1

Senzani uma sesabile?

On land, when threatened, it rears up, spreads its hood and may hiss loudly, but it tends not to lunge forward. In water, it swims away quickly.1

Uma siluma

Gcina umuntu engashukumi futhi ezolile, khipha izindandatho nezinto eziqinile, bese umusa esibhedlela ngokushesha: i-antivenom iyikhambi.

Njalo shayela kuqala inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911). Lokhu kuyiseluleko sosizo lokuqala esijwayelekile, akusona iseluleko sezokwelapha. Izisekelo zosizo lokuqala

Hlala uphephile

Ungalokothi uthinte, ubambe noma ugcone isilwane sasendle, ngisho noma sincane, futhi ngisho noma sibukeka silele noma sifile.
Sinike isikhala. Uma uhlangana naso, hlala uzolile, uhlehle kancane bese usiyeka sihambe ngendlela yaso.
Uma sikuluma: hlala uzolile, ungashukumi, shayela inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911) noma uye esibhedlela ngokushesha. Khumbula ukuthi besibukeka kanjani, isithombe siyasiza.

Asikuzingeli wena. Sisebenzisa ubuthi baso ukuze sibambe ukudla noma ukuzivikela, futhi singancamela ukucasha. Okwengeziwe mayelana nokuhlala uphephile

It can dive to depths of 25 m.1

It is one of only two water cobra species in the world; the other is the Congo water cobra (Naja christyi).1
