Have you ever seen a King Cobra before? If you have you'd know that it is long, and pale colored with a hood in the back oh its head. You can identify a Cobra from other snakes simply bescause of its "hood." The hood is an extension of ribs thats located in the back of its head. King cobras mainly inhabit southern asia, Northern africa, and the philippines. Cobras are at the top of other snakes. Cobras are also very intelligent, and can learn quickly, which helps them avoid dangerous areas. Cobras can hear, although they can sense sound though the ground. 
Cobras are not poisonous but they are venomous. King cobras are the longest venomous snake in the world. Cobras venom is not the strongest there is, but Cobras can inject so much venom in a single bite that they can kill a elephant. They dont always inject venom when they bite something. They can do a "Dry Bite" if they wanted to. A Dry Bite is when cobars decide they dont need to inject venom into anything. Baby cobras have full-strength venom and can defend themselves like their parents. if a cobra waz to ever bite you, the best medicine to have you take would be called"antivenin", Which is made from cobra venom.
