[QUOTE="sakuraguy, post: 2701959, member: 6441"] [b]King Cobra[/b] I just got this picture from one of my friend, damn! no jokes and this is fully loaded n scary to death. http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/5946/kingcobra1sl3.jpg Soon, I began to search some information of this endangered species .. It seems unfairly menacing that a snake that can literally "stand up" and look a full-grown person in the eye would also be among the most venomous on the planet, but that describes the famous king cobra. King cobras can reach 18 feet (5.5 meters) in length, making them the longest of all venomous snakes. When confronted, they can raise up to one-third of their bodies straight off the ground and still move forward to attack. They will also flare out their iconic hoods and emit a bone-chilling hiss that sounds almost like a growling dog. Their venom is not the most potent among venomous snakes, but the amount of neurotoxin they can deliver in a single bite—up to two-tenths of a fluid ounce (seven milliliters)—is enough to kill 20 people, or even an elephant. Fortunately, king cobras are shy and will avoid humans whenever possible, but they are fiercely aggressive when cornered. Videos: [YOUTUBE]zzFxHr4t4mY[/YOUTUBE] [YOUTUBE]x7XY3dMVNhg[/YOUTUBE] Some serious facts: - It has a head as big as a man's hand and can stand tall enough to look you straight in the eye. - King Cobras are the longest venomous snake in the world! The average male grows 18 feet long, and some have been known to grow more than 20 feet long. - Most cobras are shy, and run and hide when people are around. The exception is King Cobras, who are aggressive, and will rear up and stand their ground when confronted. - Many snake charmers remove the fangs or the venom sacs from their snakes, because it is too dangerous.

They can do a "dry bite" if they want to. - Cobras are at the top of the food chain. Their only natural predators are the mongoose, and man. Anyone has experiences on facing snake lively? ever try to catch yourself one? [/QUOTE]
