More on Cape cobras

The Cape cobra is one of South Africa's deadliest snakes with poison that can kill. These scary reptiles live in many different places across southern Africa, from dry grasslands to shrubby areas and even deserts. They come in different colours, some are bright yellow, others are brown, and some can even be black.

Cape cobras hunt during the day and eat almost anything they can catch, which is why they're extra dangerous when they end up in homes or offices where people work and live.
