And what kind of venom does a monacled cobra have?
|
Monocled cobras as with virtually if not all hots posess a combination venom. Their venom is comprised of both neurotoxic and hemotoxic compounds and a bit does cause necrosis.
Venom is an extremely complex substance, and no venom is exclusively any one thing, it is a mixture of various proteins with varying effects.
The elapid family has venom which is primarily neurotoxic, but it is far from without hemotoxic compounds. The reverse can be said of many viperids which have a primarily hemotoxic venom, with additional neurotoxic properties..
