Something that I did not know, and now I do, is there is a subspecies of N.nigrocollis, call N.n.crawshawi
I dont know if this is in publication of if it is in a paper somewhere, but it is basically a nigrocollis that has a pale chin and occurs west into south west africa.
There is a lot happening with cobras.. Lots and lots. Boulengerina and Paranaja are no more, they have been swallowed into Naja.
Those nigrocollis that came in are stunners, as are all spitters.. thats why name is mfezi--- zulu for spitting cobra
