Photo by joelsartore | Found in the forests of West Africa, black forest cobras are Africa’s longest cobras, sometimes exceeding eight feet (2.5 m) in length. Active during the day and at night, these snakes can be found both up in the trees hunting for prey and down on the ground near rivers, streams, or mangroves. This photo was taken at kyreptilezoo.
