adminJUST a thought of a huge venomous snake can give you thrills, and if you face something like that in real world, you would undoubtedly pick a different way. It’s true that movies and fiction have always exaggerated snakes, but there exist some snakes that meet all the requirement to be called as the dangerous and the deadliest. And King Cobra tops that.
Connection between snakes and India: Well, the world’s longest venomous snake King Cobra is found in India in abundance (including some Southeast Asian countries). It’s one of the deadliest snakes on earth.
Snakes are also treated as religious symbols in Hinduism. The terrifying fact is that a King Cobra can measure up to 19 ft or 5,5 meters in length. It can inject greater amount of venom into prey’s body than any other snake. It has 11 large chevron scales on the crown of its head, for which it is called the King.
