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.
Vital organs
Three of the most important organs are in
the head and neck. These are the Brain
Heart and Poison gland. The stomach
intestines run down its long body same for
the lungs. Its fangs are a half inch long
and are hollow, otherwise poison would
not be able to flow through.
