The King Cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) is not just the world’s longest venomous snake — it's one of the most fascinating and feared reptiles on the planet.
It has been suggested that three more king cobra species exist in addition to O. hannah, namely the Sunda king cobra O. bungarus, the Western Ghats king cobra (O. kaalinga) and the Luzon king cobra (O. salvatana). These distinct genetic lineages are geographically isolated and adapted to specific ecological regions.
In this video, we explore its incredible hunting skills, unique intelligence, complex mating behavior, and the special ability that sets it apart: feeding on other snakes!
From the forests of India and Southeast Asia to the dense jungles of the Western Ghats, this apex predator plays a vital role in its ecosystem. Discover how it builds nests, raises young, warns enemies with its iconic hood and hiss — and why it's respected in Indian culture and feared across Asia.
