An albino Spectacled Cobra, Naja naja (Linnaeus 1758), from southwestern Odisha, India

Case of complete albinism in Spectacled Cobra, Naja naja (Linnaeus 1758), in Nepal

“…Several records of albinism in Spectacled Cobras have been documented (e.g., Mahabal and Thakur 2014;Thakur and Trivedi 2018;Harpal et al 2021;Mohalik et al 2023). Based on published photos, records of albino cobras by Fellows (2018) and Maurya et al (2020) might have been normal color variants, usually associated with variations in environment (Prüst 1984).…”
