A friend of mine came across this Cobra in the Kafue National Park in Zambia a few weeks ago. He said he has never seen a snake like this in these parts.
Estimated to be just under 2m in length but completely black, no other colourings, bands, spots or anything else, just black.
Thoughts were it may be of the spiting variety but, despite the snake being quite agitated it never did spit.
They managed to get quite a few pics of the snake and any help in identification would be most appreciated.
Thanks
