King Cobra

The King Cobra is the world's longest venomous snake, reaching lengths of up to 18 feet. It is primarily found in forests and plains across Southeast Asia and India. Known for its hood, which flares out when threatened, the King Cobra is highly intelligent and can recognize its captor. Its venom targets the nervous system and can be fatal to large animals, including humans. Despite its fearsome reputation, it generally avoids humans and feeds mainly on other snakes.
