What are some interesting facts about the Mozambique spitting cobra?

The Mozambique spitting cobra is also known as the black-necked spitting cobra due to the distinctive black band around its neck.

They are highly adaptable and can be found in a variety of habitats including savannas, forests, and even urban areas.

The venom of the Mozambique spitting cobra is mainly neurotoxic, meaning it attacks the nervous system of its prey or potential predators.

In addition to spitting venom, they can also deliver a bite if they feel threatened or cornered.

They are able to climb trees and swim, making them very versatile predators.

They can grow up to 1.5 meters (5 feet) in length, making them one of the largest cobra species in southern Africa.

Mozambique spitting cobras are oviparous, meaning they lay eggs rather than giving birth to live young.

They have a very accurate and targeted spit, able to hit the eyes of their prey or predators up to 2 meters away.

Mozambique spitting cobras are typically active at night, but can also be active during the day.

They are important predators, helping to control rodent populations and other prey items in their ecosystem.
