The King Cobra lives in dense highland forests in south-eastern Asia to to India. They can be up to 18.5 feet and 20 pounds. Its scale color is usually olive-green, tan, or black. It eats a variety of animals, but most of the time it eats other snakes. If the King Cobra is threatened it will form a hood, lift up to a third of its body into the air, and hiss loudly to scare off the predator. It is also known to be one of the only snakes to actually make a nest for its eggs which can be up to 50 eggs. The King Cobra usually avoids humans, but they will attack if they're threatened. In the wild it's threatened. Even though this snake has powerful venom and can kill a human, one of its worst enemies is the small mongoose. All of its relative snakes have venomous and fixed fangs such the Coral Snake, Death Adder, and the Black Mamba.
