Cobra

By: Lyric Jones

What It Looks Like

IT HAS A HOOD ON THE BACK OF IT’S HEAD.

IT’S HOOD IS BIG AND MAKES THE COBRA LOOK SCARY TO ITS ENEMY.

ITS SKIN IS OLIVE GREEN, TAN, OR BALCK WITH PALE YELLOW BANDS.

NICE

WHERE IT LIVES

. KING COBRAS CAN ALSO BE FOUND ON FARMLAND.

. THE KING COBRA IS FOUND IN ASIA.

IT CAN BE FOUND IN FORESTS AND UP IN THE FOOTHILLS.

CHECK THAT OUT

WHAT IT EATS

IT EATS RATS, MICE, BIRDS, AND SNAKES .

THE KING COBRA PREYS ON OTHER SNAKES AND LIZARDS.

THE COBRA’S BITE IS OF LITTLE USE AGAINST BIRDS. THEY STRIKE FROM THE BACK.

AWESOME

WHAT ARE OTHER BEHAVIORS

HE TASTES THE AIR WITH HIS FLICKERING TONGUE.

WHEN YOUNG SNAKES HATCH, THE FEMALE LEAVES THEM TO LOOK AFTER THEMSELVES.

A KING COBRA FEMALE WILL LAY EGGS ONCE A YEAR.

NICE

COOL
