The King Cobra
The King Cobra needs no introduction: its reputation for being one of the most venomous snakes on the planet is well known. It can grow up to 18 feet long and it can raise 1/3 of its body off the ground when threatened. The cobra’s distinct hood and terrifying hiss may be nerve-wracking enough, but the snake’s venom is where the true terror lies. This stuff affects its prey’s nervous system, causing pain, vertigo, paralysis, and death.
