The desert black cobra discovered the other day is more dangerous than the common cobra. The snake was discovered in the Dhofar Governorate of Oman by the Environment Authority. The discovery of the black cobra has been published in the journal ZOOTAXA. The desert black cobra is a snake known by the scientific name Walterinnesia aegyptia. These highly venomous snakes are widely found in the Middle East.
This shiny black species has a higher resistance and more venom than common cobras, making them more dangerous. Since they have venom similar to that of a king cobra, it is very difficult to save their lives if they get bitten. These snakes, which can reach lengths of up to 150 centimeters, mostly come out at night.
The desert black snake, also known as the desert cobra, is widely found in the Middle East. The scientific community believes that this discovery will be crucial for the conservation of Oman's biodiversity and research in wildlife areas. It is known as one of the most deadly venomous snakes.
This discovery is also considered a great achievement in the field of scientific research. The discovery has been published in the April issue of the international journal 'ZOOTAXA'. Due to the high temperature in Oman, the venom of all wild animals is generally high. In general, the strength of the poison is high in all poisonous animals. However, snakes found in Oman that are not very dangerous are also on the list.
Identifying and classifying snakes will help in the treatment of snakebites. The lives of the bitten are saved by administering antivenom from snakes belonging to the same group as the snake that bit the victim. Therefore, such discoveries will be very beneficial not only for preserving the country's natural diversity but also for life safety.
