The only "cobra” species which occurs in this region is Naja oxiana, so any “cobra” observed in Kazakhstan would likely be of this species. [citation needed] Naja oxiana is often found in arid and semiarid, rocky or stony, shrub- or scrub-covered foothills [12] at elevations up to about 3,000 m (9,800 ft) above sea level. This is also the ...
According to a 2019 study by Kazemi-Lomedasht et al, the murine LD 50 via intravenous injection (IV) value for Naja oxiana (Iranian specimens) was estimated to be 0.14 mg/kg (0.067-0.21 mg/kg) [13] more potent than the sympatric Pakistani Naja naja karachiensis and Naja naja indusi found in far north and northwest India and adjacent Pakistani ...
Confusions may exist with Caspian cobra (Naja oxiana), as some Indian cobra specimens without a hood mark are sometimes confused with N. oxiana, where these two species coexist in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Although some Caspian cobra specimens can be quite dark, they are never fully black like the Indian cobra.

The population currently included in Naja sumatrana have a confusing history. The species was first defined as currently understood in 1989. [9] Previously, the populations of this species were assigned to several different subspecies of Naja naja (Indian cobra), in particular N. n. sumatrana (Sumatra), N.n. sputatrix (Peninsular Malaysia) and N.n. miolepis (Borneo, Palawan).

The generic name Naja is a Latinization of the Sanskrit word nāgá , meaning "cobra”. The specific epithet sagittifera is Latin and means “arrow-bearing” or “carrying arrows”. [5] The Caspian cobra (Naja oxiana) and Monocled cobra (Naja kaouthia) have been demonstrated to be sister clades to Naja sagittifera.
