King Cobra

Although called the king cobra, this species is not a member of the genus Cobra, but is a separate genus of king cobras, unlike true cobras.

Compared with other cobras, it has a more ferocious temperament, and is extremely agile, with flexible head and neck movements, and a large amount of detoxification.

It is common in southwestern and southern China, and usually inhabits grasslands, open slopes and woods.

Its main food is its similar kind - other snakes, so in the territory of the king cobra, it is difficult to see other kinds of snakes. King cobras are extremely venomous.
