Cobras are Elapids, a type of poisonous snake with hollow fangs fixed to the top jaw at the front of the mouth. These snakes cannot hold their fangs down on prey so they inject venom through their fangs, according to the San Diego Zoo. They have an excellent sense of smell and night vision.

Cobras are highly venomous snakes that are typically long, slender snakes reaching six to ten feet long, and king cobras can be 18 feet long. They have round pupils, varying head shapes, and a wide array of color patterns. When a cobra spits venom, it’s more that they squeeze it out through their fangs.

Cobra is the common name of various venomous snakes, most of which belong to the genus Naja. Many cobras are capable of rearing upwards and producing a hood when threatened.

Cobras are highly venomous snakes, members of the Elapidae family. They are found in Africa and Asia, where they inhabit different types of environments. All kinds of cobras possess highly potent venom that contains a powerful neurotoxin that can cause death within 120 minutes after the bite.
