The snake looks like a Black Mamba;
One of the most deadliest snake in the world,
Kills in less than a minute no matter how strong your are,
One of the fastest in the world,
And mostly Above six feet tall for an adult male.

Lucky set of students. grin

That's a black-necked spitting cobra (Naja nigricollis) is a species of spitting cobra found mostly in sub-Saharan Africa. Very common in Nigeria.

Spitting cobra

That is not a spitter but a rain forest cobra. It’s common here in Nigeria aside pythons, Puff adder and Gaboon vipers

So snakes are that loyal now ?
Harmless
King cobras can reach 18 feet in length, making them the longest of all venomous snakes.

Venom
Their venom is not the most potent among venomous snakes, but the amount of neurotoxin they can deliver in a single bite—up to two-tenths of a fluid ounce—is enough to kill 20 people, or even an elephant. King cobra venom affects the respiratory centers in the brain, causing respiratory arrest and cardiac failure.

Bros that is not a king cobra. It is a normal cobra. King Cobras are very big like Pythons and long like 18ft or more. Nobody will see a King Cobra and try to kill it, you will first run away when you see it because if that King Cobra snake stands, it is taller than 6ft on the ground, it can spit deadly venom straight into your eyes that will cause immediate blindness and the king Cobra can move very fast and strike while standing. The king cobra is the only snake that hunts and kills a python or boa for food, although sometimes they get strangled in the process and both snakes die. Fortunately for us, there's no King Cobras in Nigeria. You find them in Asia, like India.

See the picture below, that's a king cobra that tried to eat a python. It obviously bite the python with venom to kill it, but because the python is also huge, the python also made sure it strangled the king Cobra to death before the venom killed it. Can you see how big and long that king Cobra is? Imagine facing a huge snake that is over 18 feet long, a snake that can stand, spit venom and move very fast while standing at the same time. No other snake can do that, only a king Cobra. Even a python will crawl on its belly. King Cobra will stand over 6ft tall and look you straight in the eyes. It is the bravest and most proud snake in the world. Also the most intelligent snake




Arghhhh!!! Thank you for scaring me. Damn, I hate Snakes.

Scared you? It was not my plan. Don't worry, snakes don't bite women with beautiful eyes, they will just say hello, climb your leg, crawl on your back, play with you and go. You're safe sis grin

The snake skin founded around where it was killed which confirms the fact that the snake has been long staying where it was seen and eventually killed

*"The snake skin was found"

You are disgracing UNILAG with your grammar

I would rather be bitten by a puff adder or rain forest cobra than a Gabon viper. Gaboon viper bites, the pain is excruciating and one dies from internal bleeding. You go bleed from eyes, nose, mouth, ear and even your anus cheesy

My brother. 95% of youth in this country don’t watch documentaries at all. I can’t remember when last I watch anything apart from BBC or CNN for world news, Discovery channel, Natgeo, National Geographic channel, Brit for Top gear, Food channel and ID extra for Homicide stories. cheesy

Not sure. Non have been spotted so far. The one time an inland taipan was killed in Lagos, it attracted international community and a special investigation was carried out as to how it got here all the way from Australia or New Guinea Island close to Australia. It was discovered someone brought it down here.
