King Cobra The King Cobra is the longest venomous snake. With a length up to 5.6m
3
Habitat The king cobra is distributed across South Asia, Southeast Asia, and the southern areas of East Asia (southern China) but is not common. It lives in dense highland forests, preferring areas dotted with lakes and streams.

What They Eat Their diet mainly consists of other snakes like rattle snakes, smaller pythons, and even venomous snakes like krait’s and other cobra’s.
5
The Venom Of King Cobra During a bite, venom is forced through the snake's half-inch (1.25 cm) fangs and into the wound, quickly attacks the victim's central nervous system, and induces severe pain, blurred vision, vertigo, drowsiness, and paralysis. Death soon follows due to respiratory failure.

Reproduction The King Cobra is actually unique A female usually deposits 20 to 40 eggs into the mound, which acts as an incubator. She stays with the eggs and guards the mound tenaciously, rearing up into a threat display if any large animal gets too close.
