The Chinese cobra usually escapes to avoid confrontation with humans, but strikes readily if provoked.

The Chinese cobra is iridescent black with a number of distant transversal double lines of a yellow colour.

Of course the Chinese cobra is only one of the snakes that produce cobratoxin, but the other snakes cause similar indications.

The Chinese cobra is a highly venomous member of the true cobras (genus Naja).

The distribution of the venom of the Chinese cobra has been studied in mice using a whole-animal radiographic technique.

The Chinese cobra is sometimes confused with the Monocled cobra (Naja kaouthia).

The Chinese cobra has a widely varied diet and it mainly preys on rodents, frogs, toads and other snakes.

Snakes of Taiwan (Naja atra - Chinese cobra)

The Chinese cobra is a very alert, seldom cornered, but if confronted will raise its forebody and spread its hood and strike readily if necessary.

The common name of "King ratsnake" refers to its habit of eating other snakes, including venomous species such as the Chinese cobra and the sharp-nosed viper.

Local symptoms in victims caused by Chinese cobra are wound darkening, localized redness and swelling, pain, insensibility, and invariably blisters and necrosis.

The dorsal color of the Chinese cobra is usually brown, grey or black, with or without narrow, light transverse lines at irregular intervals which are especially prominent in juveniles.

Indications for the bite of a cobra, in this case the Naja atra (Chinese cobra) are the darkening of the bite wound and pain and swelling of the area around it.

The Chinese cobra (Naja atra), also called Taiwan cobra, is a species of cobra in the Elapidae family, found mostly in southern China and a couple of neighboring nations and islands.

Cardiotoxin III (CTX III, also known as cytotoxin 3) is a sixty amino-acid polypeptide toxin from the Taiwan Cobra Naja naja atra.

The Chinese cobra (Naja atra), also called Taiwan cobra, is a species of cobra in the Elapidae family, found mostly in southern China and a couple of neighboring nations and islands.

These snoRNA genes were initially identified in the introns of the cardiotoxin 4 and cobrotoxin genes of the Taiwan cobra (Bungarus multicinctus) and the Taiwan banded krait (Bungarus multicinctus) during sequencing of these genes.

We excluded an additional nine eukaryotes for which a few genes had been tabulated repeatedly as independent sequences (for example, Naja atra ), leaving a sample size of 311 bacteria, 28 archaea, and 257 eukaryotes with at least 20 distinct coding sequences tabulated in the database.
