Some Naja nigricollis captured near Luanda Angola!
Naja nigricollis squirting its venom in defence!
In the blue!
Note beautiful salmon pink color of the ventral scales. There seem to be two varieties, some with the pink bellies and others with silvery black.
As with most cobras, Naja nigricollis is very opportunistic in its diet. The droppings of this specimen contained rodent fur, snake scales and beetle shells which indicate toads were also consumed!
