The Offensive and defensive traits of the King Cobra
Being a Tertiary predator, the King Cobra has to thank its many abilities for its sucess as a hunter. The King CobrA posses a large resource of offensive traits that are based around Its sharp Fangs.
For its offensive traits, everything is based around the Jacobsons organ. The Jacobsons organ is a organ in the Top part of the Cobra's mouth. The function of tHe organ is to Locate Its prey. It works very much like A car's gps. The tongue catches the sCent in the air, and It retracts and touches the organ. The King Cobra can than ALLOCATE the exact location of itS prey. This Jacobsons organ adds to the already impressive nose of the King Cobra. The King Cobra also has a deadly sharp pair of fAngs and venom sack. ThEse half inch razor shap teeth draw deadly Venom from the sac. About 1.31-1.91 mg, or 2 teaspoons of neurotoxins enter the system of the Vicitm. The Amout Of venom injected is large, but the poison itself is not as deAdly aS its counterparts. When this deadly Cobra strikes, it delivers several bites instead of one single bite. Many people underestimate the range of the king cobra as it can strike its prey from 6 feet away. Its venom can kill up to 20 people or a Fully grown Bull Elephant. The King Cobra can also open Up its jaws to swallow bigger prey.
Defense The KiNg CoBra nearly has as many defensiVe traits as oFfensive. Though the King cobra always avoids humans after hearing our large and lumbering footsteps, it will try to force the human to leave it alone before attacking. The King CoBra rises its hood and Hisses to ward Off prey. Though this is intimidating, this does little to scAre apex predators such as Komodo Dragons. The King Cobra can also make a growling sound similar to a Dog. This is the onLy Cobra knownto ACTUALLY make this sound. Another of the king Cobra's defensE is it can spit venom in a persons eye as defense. The venom is not as deadly as the injected venom, but is can cause severe blindness, and discoloration.
