King Cobra ( Ophiophagus hannah )

The king cobra- it's the king for a reason! The largest and most venomous snake in the world, it can grow to be up to 16.5'. It typically eats its own kind- snakes, even if they are poisonous. It sinks it's venom into their flesh and swallows them whole. This isn't the snake you want to find in your garden!

The cobra, though it may be the king, has very poor eyesight. It detects its victims by flicking its tongue out to catch scents in the air. It fangs are razor-sharp, and they pierce the skin, injecting it with venom. This comes in handy when attacking other poisonous snakes.

This snake can be found in Southern Asia, lurking in bamboo shelters as protection. It attacks like this:
1. Snake is slithering along in the grass.
2. It slithers its tongue out.
3. It catches whiff of another snake nearby.
4. Using its poor eyesight, it goes next to the other snake.
5. The snake coils up.
6. ATTACK!!!! The snake lunges towards the neck of the other snake.
7. The venom slowly kills the snake, who is devoured in one chomp. Oh, it's good to be king!
