The solitary King Cobra lives in rainforests , tropical deciduous forests, tropical scrub forests, and tropical grasslands of India, southern China, and southeast Asia. Several of people die from the bite of the King Cobra each year. A King Cobra can even kill an elephant. The King Cobra can slither on land, climb on trees, and swim on water; it often lives near water. It has a life span of about 20 years. The Hood : When the King Cobra is threatened or on the attack, it will hiss, rear up, and flatten its neck ribs into a hood. There are false eyespots on the hood, which can scare some predators. Anatomy : King Cobras have been found up to 18 feet (5.5 m) long, but average about 13 ft (4 m) long. Its hollow fangs are up to 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) long. Poison is forced through the fangs when the cobra bites. The scaly skin glistens but is dry to the touch. Adults are yellow, green, brown, or black; the throat is light yellow or cream-colored. Juveniles are black with yellow or white bars crossing the body. The King Cobra smells using its forked tongue. Although it is deaf to sounds, it can feel vibrations (like footsteps).

Click here Advertisement document.write(' Cobra (snake) Encyclopedia Article Multimedia 2 items Cobra (snake) , common name for certain members of a family of venomous snakes, known for their intimidating behavior and deadly bite. Cobras are recognized by the hoods that they flare when angry or disturbed; the hoods are created by the elongate ribs that extend the loose skin of the neck behind the cobras' heads. These reptiles are found throughout the Philippines, southern Asia, and Africa. Many species of cobras are natives of Africa. Among them is the spitting, or black-necked, cobra, found from southern Egypt to northern South Africa. This snake can spray its venom from a distance of about 2.4 m (8 ft) into the eyes of its victims, causing temporary blindness and great pain. Varieties of the spitting cobra range in color from dull black to pink, the paler-colored ones marked by a black band around the neck. The ringhals, a different type of spitting cobra confined to southern Africa, is one of the smallest of the cobras, reaching only about 1.2 m (4 ft) in length. It is dark brown or black with ridged, or keeled, scales and pale rings on the neck. The asp, or Egyptian cobra, is found along the northern coast of Africa.

Cobra (snake) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Egyptian Cobra Cobras are venomous snakes of family Elapidae , of several genera . They generally inhabit tropical and desert regions of Asia and Africa . Cobras kill their prey, usually small rodents and birds , by injecting a neurotoxin through their hollow fangs. The King Cobra notably eats other snakes; it feeds almost entirely on other snakes, even venomous ones ( ophiophagy ). The spitting cobra can also incapacitate larger would-be predators by delivering irritating venom to their eyes. Cobras come in varying colors from black or dark brown to yellowish white. The (jet) black cobra found in North India is considered a sub-species of cobra. The cobra's most recognizable feature is its hood , a flap of skin and muscle behind the head which it can flare, perhaps for the purpose of making it appear bigger and more threatening to predators. which may also serve to confuse enemies. The cobra's predators include the mongoose and possibly some raptors The word "cobra" came from Spanish or Italian and is short for "cobra capello" = "snake with a hat" or similar (referring to the hood); it probably came from Latin coluber = "snake".

Cobra Information Page 1 General Overview Asian cobra - Naja naja Scientific Data: Cobras belong to the family Elapidae (Reptilia: Serpentes). There is much discussion among researchers and taxonomists as to the actual variations of both the African and Asian species. Venom researchers have known of these differences for some time, but did not have a sound systematic framework on which to base this. It was not until recently, with an interest in developing more effective antivenins, that extensive scientific research has been conducted into these differences. Due to the ongoing research in the field, the classifications and taxonomic naming of the varieties of cobras is currently dynamic. I have attempted to use that information herein which is most widely accepted. In the past, Asian cobras have been generally classified as Naja naja. More recent population systematics research has revealed a number of sub-species as follows: N. naja in northern india and Pakistan, N. kauthia in Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam; N. sumatrana in northern Malaysia and southern Thailand; N. oxiana in Pakistan, N. sagittifera in the Andaman Islands, N. atra in China, Taiwan, northern Vietnam, N. Philippinensis in the northern Philippines, N. samarensis in the southern Philippines, and N. sputatrix in southern Indonesia. The king cobra is classified as Ophiophagus hannah (aka Hamadryad), the spitting cobra as Naja nigricollis, the Egyptian cobra as Naja haje, the water cobras as N. boulengerina, the tree cobras as N. pseudohaje, the "pink" cobra as N. pallida, and the shield-nose cobra as N. aspidelaps.

31. Cobra - Article At 85, he has been bitten 162 times the latest, by a cobra, three. months ago by snakes with venom poisonous enough to kill an elephant. http://www.cobras.org/article.htm

POISONOUS VENOM MAY BE JUST WHAT DOCTOR ORDERED, SAYS OCTOGENARIAN By Tom Wells THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PUNTA GORDA, Fla. Bill Haast slid back the top to the large metal box and up popped a cobra. The snake spread its hood, weaved back and forth, side to side, then hissed. Haast placed his hand about six inches from its menacing fangs. A few drops of the snake's venom could kill an ordinary human. Or, Haast believes, perhaps save someone. Bill Haast is not an ordinary human. The snake lunged four times. Each time, Haast pulled back his hand, just out of range, just in time. His timing has not always been perfect. At 85, he has been bitten 162 times the latest, by a cobra, three months ago by snakes with venom poisonous enough to kill an elephant. Twice, Haast almost died. But Haast has been injecting himself with snake venom since 1948. He has built up such powerful antibodies in his system that his blood has been used as a snakebite antidote. He began with tiny amounts of rattlesnake venom and built up the dosage over the years. He injects himself

King Cobra Also known as "Hamadryad" Latin name: Ophiophagus hannah The King Cobra snake is the largest venomous snake in the world! The heavy and mascular King Cobra can kill other snakes with its powerful venom. The snakes follow fangs grow to a length of 0.5 in. The Cobra punches them into its prey like hypodermic needles, and injects a powerful venom.The venom glands lie gehind the eyes. The snake can then dislocate its jaw to engulf large prey. The cobra uses its menacing hood to warn off other animals. Its neck spreads to form a hood with a double chevron marking on the back. Its skin is olive green, tan or black with pale yellow crossbands down the length of the body. The underbelly is cream or yellow. The cobra detects prey by flicking its tongue out to collect scents from the air. Inside the mouth, the tongue passes over the Jacobson's organ- a receptor that analyzes different scents. The King Cobra is mainly found is Asia, you can find it in clearings, amongst bamboo theckets and in the borders of the forest. In Northern India, the cobra can be found in forest, and up into the foothills of the Himalayas. Cobras can climb trees with ease, but will rarely do so unless chasing his next meal. Cobras can also be found on farmland and in outlying parts of villages. As forest are cleaned, Cobra are increasingly encountered by humans. The King Cobra preys on other snakes and lizards. It will attack venomous snakes and nonvenomous ones, such as small pythons. The cobra tracks prey by sight and by tasting the air with it's tongue. It strikes quickly and it's venom paralyzes the victims nervous system. The King Cobra can dislocate it's jaws like other snakes, and gradually work it's meal into its long stomach.

Next King Cobra Not a true cobra Order: Squamata Suborder: Serpentes (Ophidia) Family: Elapidae Ophiophagus hannah APPEARANCE Unlike its name suggests, the king cobra is not a true cobra, but is placed in a separate genus from them. The king cobra is longer than the true cobras — in fact, it is the longest venomous snake in the world. They average at 13 ft (3.9 m) in length, bu can attain a length of 18 ft (5.4 m). To put this in perspective, the king cobra is longer than most crocodiles. Although they generally move with their body flat on the ground, they can rear up to 1/3 of their total body length, making them up to 6 ft (1.8 m) tall — as tall as a full-grown human. King cobras have the basic snake appearance, with a long, round, scaled body that tapers to a pointed tail. The head is flat on top, with two black beady eyes located on the front. The neck is exaggerated due to folds of loose skin on either side of it. When the king cobra becomes scared or agitated, ribs in the neck flatten out, expanding the folds of skin and creating a long, narrow hood. This hood lacks patterns of any kind, distinguishing it from true cobras. King cobras vary greatly in colour. Depending on where they live, they could be brown, black, yellow, or green, interspersed with yellow or white crossbands (chevrons). Generally, king cobras found in darker forests are darker in colour than those found in open forests or savannas. The colour of the belly also varies, from a uniform light cream-colour to a creamy colour interspersed with darker bars.
