5 Interesting Facts About Cobras!

  • The king cobra is the longest venomous snake in the world, reaching up to 5.5 metres - long enough to look a full-grown human in the eye when it rears up.
  • Cobras spread their iconic hood by extending their ribs outward - the hood is made of skin and ribs, not a separate structure, and is used to appear larger and more threatening.
  • The spitting cobra can accurately spit venom at a target's eyes from up to 2.5 metres away - and it aims for the eyes specifically, which it can identify in less than 0.2 seconds.
  • King cobras are the only snake species known to build a nest for their eggs - the female constructs a mound of leaves and guards it fiercely until the eggs hatch.
  • Despite their fearsome reputation, cobras would rather flee than fight - they only rear up and spread their hood as a warning, and biting is very much a last resort.
