KING COBRA

The King Cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) can be found in India, southeast Asia and China. Kink Cobra can live around 20 years and can grow to a length of 20 feet.

The King Cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) is the largest of the venomous land snakes, growing up to 18.5 feet (5.7 meters) in length, however they are slender, so they usually do not exceed 44 lb (20 kg).

The King Cobra is peculiar in that it feeds almost exclusively on other snakes, which is reflected in both its common name and its genus name (Ophiophagus is Greek for "snake-eater"), and is even known to attack larger snakes, including pythons.

The snake has a preference for living in areas dotted with lakes and streams, and is an excellent swimmer.

They are cold blooded and a carnivore. The Cobra is the largest poisonous snake in the world.
