Chinese cobra
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.〔〔〔 It is one of the most prevalent venomous snakes in mainland China and Taiwan, which has caused many snakebite incidents to humans.
==Etymology and names==
''Naja atra'' was first described by Danish physician, zoologist, and botanist Theodore Edward Cantor in 1842. The generic name ''naja'' is a Latinisation of the Sanskrit word () meaning "cobra".〔 The specific epithet ''atra'' comes from the Latin term ''ater'', which means "dark", "black", or "gloomy".〔
In Mandarin Chinese, the snake is known as ''Zhōnghuá yǎnjìngshé'' (simplified: 中华眼镜蛇, traditional: 中華眼鏡蛇, lit. "Chinese spectacled snake", i.e. Chinese cobra), ''Zhōushān yǎnjìngshé'' (舟山眼鏡蛇, lit. "Zhoushan spectacled snake", i.e. Zhoushan cobra) or, in Guangdong and Hong Kong, ''fànchǎntóu'' (飯鏟頭, lit. "rice paddle head"). "Spectacled snake" refers to the markings which the snake may at times have on the back of the hood that resemble eyeglasses.〔 In Taiwanese, the snake is known as ''pn̄g-sî-chhèng'' (飯匙倩/銃, lit. "rice paddle ?"), ''ba̍k-kiàⁿ-chôa'' (目鏡蛇, lit. "spectacled snake", i.e. cobra), or ''tn̂g-ām-chôa'' (長頷蛇, lit. "long-chinned snake").
