Cobras are snakes that live in Namibia, Africa and belong to a reptile family called Elapidae which is made up of all kinds of venomous snakes like black mambas, coral snakes, and so on. Their homes are either felled tree trunks,hollow trees, even abandoned termite mounds or anthills.
2. Cobra Poison
Their difference between regular snakes is that they have hoods with certain patterns for scaring off their enemies. They measure about 6.6 inches and their venom is very painful and can kill 50 adult humans! What cobras eat are Birds, rodents, sometimes even other snakes!! Thousands of people die from cobra venom but yet, we still do not kill cobras because their population is already getting low. Their venom is deadly but can still be used for Medicine!
3. Cobras throughout history
People have been worshipping cobras ever since ancient Egypt times where the people believed in snake people named Nagas which where gods and some coffins had the person on there wearing a Golden crown with a cobra on there. Hindu people have also worshipped cobras and today, cobras are still respected by people.
