Indlela yokusibona

  • Head and hood are uniformly dark brown or black1
  • Scales on the underside range from white to orange1

Ivamise ukudidaniswa ne: It was long thought to be a subspecies of the black-necked spitting cobra (Naja nigricollis), but differences in body shape and genes led to it being recognised as a separate species. Both of its subspecies are smaller than the black-necked spitting cobra. The subspecies known as the black spitting cobra is solid black, with no stripes.1

  • Uma ubuthi bukhafulelwe emehlweni, wahlanze ngamanzi amaningi ahlanzekile ngokushesha.

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 noma sikukhafulela ubuthi emehlweni: 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
