Best Answer

The most common cobra is the Spectacled cobra Naja naja, native to the Indian subcontinent and associated with snake charming there. The Black cobra, found in Pakistan and North India , is generally considered to be a sub-species

The second most common cobra species is the Monocled cobra, Naja kaouthia, widespread in Asia.

In addition to a deadly bite, the spitting cobra can incapacitate larger would-be predators by spraying venom into their eyes . This is extremely painful and can cause permanent blindness, but if washed out promptly rarely causes permanent damage.

The king cobra is ophiophagus i.e. it feeds almost entirely on other snakes, even venomous ones, although it sometimes preys on small rodents and birds. It will only attack humans if provoked or in other extreme circumstances that threaten its survival. If not treated, a king cobra's bite can kill a person in just half an hour. King cobras may reach up to 5.2m (17.1ft) in length, making them the largest venemous snakes in the world .

A Cobra is any venomous snake with the ability to raise the front quarter of its' body off the ground, and to flatten the bones in its' neck to form a hood. MOST (not all) are members of the 'elapidae' family of snakes. They are found mainly in Asia and Africa.
