OtterKnow Kids EncyclopediaThe cobra is a snake that is famous for spreading out its neck into a wide hood. It does this to look big and scary when it feels afraid. Cobras live in warm parts of Africa and Asia.
Cobras have a flat, wide hood that they spread out when they feel threatened. They can be brown, black, or olive green. The king cobra is the longest venomous snake in the world and can be as long as a car!
- Baby cobras are very small when they hatch from their eggs, but they can already spread their tiny hoods.
- Some cobras can spit venom at an attacker’s eyes from several feet away!
- It is best to stay far away from cobras because they are venomous snakes.
