Like 4 Dislike 0 Published on 3 Apr 2014
The longest of all living venomous snakes, the magnificent king cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) has been the inspiration for a variety of myths and legends within its native range. This species is not a true cobra of the genus Naja, and instead belongs to a unique genus Ophiophagus, whose scientific name derives from the Greek for "snake-eating", in reference to its dietary habits. Its favorite diet is Rat snake.
