Cobra
Introduction
Cobras are scary. They're the world's longest venomous snake, and their fangs can be up to an inch (2 centimeters) long. Cobra venom affects the central nervous system of victims, causing them to become dizzy and faint before dying from respiratory failure or heart attack. If you see a cobra in your yard, don't try to catch it—that's how they get their name! Instead, contact your local wildlife agency or park ranger if there is a cobra problem near where you live (and avoid getting bitten by one).
Cobras are venomous snakes.
Cobras are venomous snakes. There are roughly 270 species of cobra, and all are poisonous, but not all are deadly to humans. Ninety percent of the world's snakebites occur in India—a country where cobras have been kept as pets or kept as curiosities for centuries (and where they still exist).
However, only a few types of cobra can kill you: King Cobra (Plerophis perfoliatus), Horned Viper (Daboia russelii), Tiger Snake (Notechis scutatus) and Russell’s Viper (Vipera russellii). The last two are found in southern India while King Cobras have been spotted even farther north than that! In other words: if you see one at home near your backyard then odds are high that it won't bite because its venom isn't powerful enough on average; but if there's something else nearby like a dog or cat then chances go up significantly due to proximity."
There are roughly 270 species of cobra.
There are roughly 270 species of cobra. The common name "cobra" is used for any of these snakes, but they are not all venomous. The name is derived from Hindi कोब्रा kobra via Portuguese cobra.
The snakes vary in size depending on the species and region; some grow to be more than 6 feet long and others may be only 2 feet long or smaller when fully grown.[1] For example, the Indian Cobra (Naja naja) lives in India and Southeast Asia while the African Forest Viper (Daboia russellii) lives across sub-Saharan Africa region including Nigeria.[2]
All cobras are poisonous, but not all are deadly to humans.
A cobra is a venomous snake that can be found around the world. All cobras are poisonous, but not all are deadly to humans. Some species of cobra are more dangerous than others and some species pose a greater threat to humans than other types of snakes do.
Nearly half of the world’s snakebite deaths occur in India.
Cobra is the most venomous snake in the world. Cobras are found in Asia, Africa and Australia. They live in warm climates and lay eggs that can hatch at any time of year, meaning they are often encountered during warm weather seasons like summer or fall.
Cobras are responsible for more deaths than any other snake (with an estimated 3,000 deaths per year), but they aren’t aggressive towards humans by nature. If you encounter one on your property or while traveling through their habitat (in which case you should contact local authorities), it’s best to leave them alone unless absolutely necessary—they will likely just go away on their own after spotting potential prey nearby!
King cobras are considered the world’s largest venomous snake.
King cobras are considered the world’s largest venomous snakes. They can grow to 7 feet long, but most are 5 to 6 feet long and weigh between 40 and 70 pounds. The king cobra is a member of the Elapidae family, which also includes mambas and cobras in Africa, Asia and Australia.
King cobras have triangular heads with large eyes that help them see well in dim light situations (like dark caves). Their forked tongues give them a good sense of smell; they use this ability to hunt down prey from upwind or behind cover—a tactic known as "frightening off" an animal before attacking it directly with venomous strikes from their fangs!
King cobras can grow up to 18.5 feet (5.6 meters) long, according to National Geographic, making them the longest venomous snake in the world. By contrast, king cobras usually only grow to about 10 feet (3 meters), and their venom is no stronger or more deadly than other cobras, according to Venombyte.
