King Cobra
The venom of the King Cobra is extremely harmful to humans and animals. This snake is mainly distributed in tropical rainforest areas. It is the longest venomous snake in the world, with a body length of up to 5.6 meters. Although called "King Cobra", this species has nothing in common with the real cobra. It is not a member of the genus Cobra, but belongs to the independent genus King Cobra.
King cobra is a venomous snake with front furrow teeth. The shape is generally similar to that of a cobra. The snake's head is oval and the neck can expand, but there is no cobra-like pattern. The obvious difference between it and the cobra is that there is a pair of large occipital scales on the back of the parietal scales on the head. The body color of the King Cobra is black or dark brown, with 40-54 narrow and light-colored horizontal stripes. The tail is khaki, and the abdomen is gray-brown with black linear patterns. It is large in size, often 3-4m long, with the maximum length recorded to be almost 6m. It is the largest venomous snake in the world. When the neck is swollen, there are white inverted V-shaped spots. When it is angry, 1/2 of its front body is erect. It is violent and will automatically attack people and animals. There are 15 rows of scales in the middle section of the back, and the scales under the tail are partially single. The back is dark brown or black with horizontal spots; the belly is yellowish white. The ventral surface of the neck is orange yellow. Young snakes are black with 34-45 yellow-white rings.
