Black-necked spitting cobra

The black-necked spitting cobra is a snake that lives across sub-Saharan Africa. It’s known for its ability to spray venom when threatened, aiming for an attacker’s eyes. Though its bite is dangerous, it mostly snacks on small rodents.

• Can grow between 1.2 to 2.2 meters long.
• Sprays venom to defend itself, which can blind if it hits eyes.
• Eats mostly small rodents like mice and rats.
