Brown forest cobra
Species of snake
The brown forest cobra (Naja subfulva) is a species of cobra in the genus Naja that is found in Central and East Africa.
This species was long thought to be either identical to the forest cobra (Naja melanoleuca), or a subspecies thereof, but morphological and genetic differences have led to its recognition as a separate species.[3] It differs from Naja melanoleuca and other forest cobras in usually having a brownish forebody, often with darker spots, and often a light ventral side and attenuated ventral banding.
