Cape cobra
Naja nivea
Highly venomous

This image was sent to me of a beautiful yellow Cape cobra attempting to eat a leopard tortoise. It is well known among snake enthusiasts that cobras are eating machines and will prey on just about anything they can swallow. They eat small mammals, rodents, birds, eggs, lizards, tortoises, and even other snakes.

Thank you to whoever took this awesome picture. It definitely has started a good few discussions and peeked much interest as it is very unusual to see a snake trying to swallow a tortoise.

Stay safe and respect nature 🙏

Yesterday my neighbor's cat found this baby puff adder, luckily none of them got hurt. I released this beautiful litlle snake this morning🙂

*Bitis Arientans - highly venomous
