Cobras are always very alert.

And king cobras feed only on snakes.

Usually they eat larger snakes like rat snakes, or even cobras.

The three types of venomous snakes that cause the majority of major clinical problems are vipers, kraits, and cobras.

My first experience with king cobras was in '72 at a magical place called Agumbe, in Karnataka, this state.

Now we've caught more than 100 king cobras over the last three years, and relocated them in nearby forests.

Venom emitted from some types of cobras, almost all vipers, some Australian elapids and some sea snakes causes necrosis of muscle tissue.

Whereas other king cobras very often come into the human interface, you know, the plantations, to find big rat snakes and stuff.

Venom emitted from elapids, including sea snakes, kraits, cobras, king cobra, mambas, and many Australian species, contain toxins which attack the nervous system, causing neurotoxicity.
