King Cobras By Logan Bandy Miss Wilson’s class

Interesting facts King cobras are the largest venomous snake in the world. They can grow up to 18 feet long in the wild. A king cobra also has the ability to deliver a dry bite which is when the snake injects no venom into its target. When it feels threatened it opens its hood (expands the skin on its neck) to warn predators. it is also the only species of snake able to spit poison

Diet The king cobras diet consists mostly of smaller snakes, rodents, lizards and birds. One of the hunting tactics of the cobra is to spit poison to disable (blind) its prey. After it bites and injects venom into its prey and eats it. Sometimes the snake bites its prey then lets go and waits for the poison to kill it (except for birds when the bird flies of it could get to far from the snake.
