The Egyptian cobra (naja haje) is a type of poisonous cobra . (wikipedia.org)
Among the non-spitting cobras, N. ashei is most likely to be confused with N. haje, on account of its drab brownish coloration and large size. (reptarium.cz)
The snake was identified as a mummified juvenile Egyptian Cobra (Naja haje). (swansea.ac.uk)
It was probably the Egyptian cobra (Naja haje), which was very poisonous ( Romans 3:13 ) (Gr. aspis). (christiansunite.com)
Elapidae6
Spitting cobras stand out from many of their relatives in the family Elapidae because they possess venoms that are highly cytotoxic-which destroy tissues-rather than the paralysis-inducing neurotoxic venoms found in other elapids. (discovermagazine.com)
Many lists also emphasize the very venomous nature of bites from sea snakes (now usually treated as two subfamilies of the cobra family, Elapidae) while failing to mention that most sea snakes have venoms specialized to kill eel prey and produce very little venom in a bite, and that the records of bites are largely due to fishermen carelessly handling the snakes. (reptilesmagazine.com)
Venomous snakes can be divided into two major groups: neurotoxic types, such as cobras, coral snakes and sea snakes (family Elapidae), and hemotoxic types, such as the vipers and pit vipers (family Viperidae). (reptilesmagazine.com)
As a general rule, snakes like cobras in the Elapidae family are venomous and have large, hollow, permanently erect fangs at the front of their mouths. (a-z-animals.com)
A major phospholipase A2 (NN-XIII-PLA2) which constitutes 20% of the whole Naja naja naja venom was purified to homogeneity on CM-Sephadex C-25 column chromatography. (uni-mysore.ac.in)
Samar Cobra is said to be nervous and is quick to bite and spray venom. (worldatlas.com)
When taunted, the cobras Santra and Wüster filmed all spat more downward than forward, with the venom exiting the fangs at a more acute angle than seen in African spitting species. (discovermagazine.com)
Some vipers (such as the Mojave rattlesnake, Crotalus scutulatus ) have significant amounts of neurotoxins in their venom, while some elapids (such as black-necked spitting cobras, Naja nigricollis ) seldom produce neurotoxic effects, instead destroying tissue much like a viper. (reptilesmagazine.com)
For example, antivenoms designed to neutralise venom from the spectacled cobra from western Maharashtra state did so effectively, but were much less successful when used for venoms of monocled cobra from eastern and northeastern India, they report. (cosmosmagazine.com)
In one example, the researchers say, an antivenom completely failed to neutralise monocled cobra venom from northeast India, despite it being the least toxic among the cobra venoms tested. (cosmosmagazine.com)
For most of us, the word "cobra" mainly brings to mind snakes like the king cobra and Indian cobra , with their large, ornately patterned hoods and deadly venom. (a-z-animals.com)
Cobras like this Chinese cobra have large hoods, long, hollow fangs, and potent venom. (a-z-animals.com)
Many Naja species can stand at 3 to 5 feet tall when rearing up, and most of them can spit their deadly neurotoxic and cytotoxic venom as far as 6 feet! (a-z-animals.com)
The neurotoxic effects of cobra venom are reversible, though motor recovery may take up to 7 days - and as many as 10 weeks. (medscape.com)
Coagulopathy is not an expected feature of bites by most cobras, though prolonged bleeding and failure of clot retraction have been reported following bites by African spitting cobras and anticoagulant proteins have been identified in the venom of the African ringhals ( Hemachatus haemachatus ). (medscape.com)
Naja mossambica , pictured) and the rinkhals Hemachatus haemachatus are, to date, the only snakes known to eject airborne venom. (biologists.com)
Cobras, I was told by a doctor at a snake farm, deserve especial respect, not simply because they can inject a lethal venom, but because, in human terms, they are somewhat neurotic. (thecatholicthing.org)
Genus8
There are fourteen species of spitting cobras in the genus Naja -seven from Africa, and seven from Asia. (discovermagazine.com)
Naja is also the largest genus of cobras, containing 38 unique species. (a-z-animals.com)
This genus contains only one species, the king cobra, which has no known subspecies. (a-z-animals.com)
Similar to Ophiophagus, this genus contains only one species, the rinkhals, also known as the ring-necked spitting cobra . (a-z-animals.com)
The cobras within this genus are collectively known as "true" cobras, as they are the most widespread, well-known, and recognizable cobra species around the world. (a-z-animals.com)
While most cobras, in general, are capable of this defense mechanism to an extent, cobras within the Naja genus have some of the largest, most pronounced neck hoods. (a-z-animals.com)

Santra and his colleague, Wolfgang Wüster from Bangor University, not only tell the story of this initial spitting individual, they also document other known cases and the mechanics of monocled cobra spitting. (discovermagazine.com)
The pair and their colleagues have witnessed spitting in approximately 120 to 130 adult monocled cobras from the Hooghly, Burdwan, and Nadia districts-the overwhelming majority of the monocled cobras they've caught there-as well as in animals from the Bishnupur and Imphal West districts in Manipur State and the State of Arunachal Pradesh in northeastern India.
