That is a beautiful Forest with a typical West African look. As well as specimens which look like the one pictured here, I also catch Forest cobras in Angola which look just like Zulu land specimens without the dark stripes on the lips and the front half of the body being beige to light brown going into a jet black tail. The dark specimens show more contrast and look more impressive to me. Very smart looking snake and my favorite cobra species!
An inaccurate naturalist is a pest and a danger, forever perpetuating illogical deductions and landing later naturalists in trouble. Damm and blast them all to hell in the most painful way. C.J.P. Ionides
