Which specific reptile's neurotoxic venom lethality is equated to that of the Yellow Cobra?
Answer
Black Mamba
The high danger associated with the Yellow Cobra, *Naja nivea*, stems from the potency of its venom, which experts have classified as having a lethality comparable to that of the Black Mamba, another highly dangerous snake found in parts of Africa. This comparison underscores the severity of a bite from the Yellow Cobra, which possesses primarily neurotoxic venom capable of causing rapid systemic effects. While the Rinkhals and the Mozambique Spitting Cobra are also significant in the region, the text specifically uses the Black Mamba as the benchmark for equating the venom's dangerous potential to that of *Naja nivea*.
