Cape Cobra
The Cape Cobra is a highly venomous snake endemic to southern Africa. It is recognised by its pale yellow to brownish colour and hood-like expansion when threatened. The Cape Cobra’s venom is neurotoxic, affecting the nervous system of its prey, which includes small mammals, birds, and reptiles. It is generally found in open savannas and semi-desert areas.
