Say It Don't Spray It 📽 by @herpexploration The primary objective of the Mozambique spitting cobra's defense mechanism is to deter predators and threats. This is achieved by temporarily incapacitating potential attackers, allowing the cobra either to counterattack or escape. The venom, when spit, is aimed at the eyes of the threat, causing intense pain and temporary blindness, thus reducing the immediate danger to the snake. They achieve this defense by accurately spitting venom at the eyes of the perceived threat. The cobra has specialized fangs with front-facing holes that act like narrow channels, allowing it to eject venom in a fine, targeted spray. This precise venom projection is a unique adaptation that enables the cobra to defend itself from a safe distance, reducing the risk of injury from larger predators or aggressive humans. In addition to its unique spitting ability, the Mozambique spitting cobra’s fangs serve the traditional role of venom delivery during feeding. When biting its prey, the cobra injects venom through the same fangs used for spitting. This venom is potent enough to quickly immobilize or kill the prey, facilitating safe and efficient consumption. This dual functionality of the fangs highlights the evolutionary versatility of the snake’s venom delivery system, serving both defensive and feeding purposes.
