NAIROBI (AFP) - A new giant species of spitting cobra -- about 2.6 metres long and with enough venom to **** up to 20 people in one bite -- has been discovered in Kenya, a study said Friday.
The large brown spitting cobra, initially included under the black-necked spitting cobra species, was discovered at a snake **** in June 2004, but confirmed as a separate species this year.
The black-necked species grows to a maximum two metres, with an average of 1.5 metres, scientists said, making the new species the largest in the world.
