The King Cobra is the world’s longest snake of all types, growing to lengths of 5.85 meters. Research from the Smithsonian’s National Zoo & Conservation Biology Institute shows that the King Cobra has a unique defence position: it can elevate the first one-third of its body off the ground and expand its elongated hood.
The venom from the King Cobra has post-synaptic neurotoxins that act on the central nervous systems of animals such as large mammals (including humans and Elephants), which in turn leads to both respiratory failure and subsequent death.
