Animals and Vegetation in East Africa - Serengeti Tanzania 2012 - A dark cobra is partially hidden within a thorny bush and tall grass. Its body curves upward along a tree trunk, blending seamlessly with the dry scrub, making it difficult to spot. The snake's coloration provides excellent camouflage within its natural habitat. The cobra utilizes this cover to remain concealed while observing its surroundings. As a venomous elapid snake, it relies on stealth and a quick strike, typically feeding on small animals like rodents, birds, and other reptiles. Species common name: Black cobra Family: Elapidae Scientific name: Naja melanoleuca
