It seems unfairly menacing that a snake that can literally "stand up" and look a full-grown person in the eye would also be among the most venomous on the planet, but that describes the famous king cobra. King Cobras can reach up to 18 feet high, making them the longest venomous snakes. They can raise up to 1/3 of their bodies straight off the ground and still move forward to attack. Their venom is not the most potent among venomous , but the amount of neurotoxin in a single bite- up to two tenths of fluid ounce is enough to kill 2o people, or even an elephant. The Picture above shows a King Cobra eating a little baby chic! King cobras live mainly in the rain forests and plains of India, southern China, and Southeast Asia, and their coloring can vary greatly from region to region. They are comfortable in the trees, on land, and in water, feeding mainly on other snakes, venomous and nonvenomous. They will also eat lizards, eggs, and small mammals. They are the only snakes in the world that build nests for their eggs, which they guard ferociously until the hatchlings emerge. King cobras may be best known as the species of choice for the snake charmers of South Asia. Although cobras can hear, they are actually deaf to ambient noises, sensing ground vibrations instead. The charmer's flute entices the cobra by its shape and movement, not by the music it emits.
