Cobras are known as one of the deadliest reptiles in the world. Types of cobras are widespread in various habitats, from tropical rainforests to grasslands and deserts.
Their ferocity is primarily related to the neurotoxin they produce. This poison works to quickly shut down the prey's nervous system, causing respiratory failure and ultimately death if not treated immediately.
One of the most famous types of cobra is the King Cobra (Ophiophagus hannah), which is the longest venomous snake in the world. The venom from a King Cobra is enough to stop an adult human's heart in less than 30 minutes after being bitten.
Not only that, cobras are also known as aggressive predators and defend tenaciously if they feel threatened. They are able to attack quickly and accurately, with their venom they can penetrate clothing or even shoes.
Cobras do not always attack humans proactively, but bite incidents often occur when humans accidentally approach or disturb them. This makes interactions with cobras very dangerous and requires extra vigilance in areas where these snakes are distributed.
In popular culture, cobras are often depicted as symbols of ferocity and danger. However, it is important to remember that they also play an important role in the ecosystem as predators that control populations of certain animals, such as mice.
