Asian Cobra :)

We think that the scariest animal ever is the Asian Cobra.
Here is some information about the animal:

The Asian Cobra is an also called the Common or Indian Cobra.

It seldom reaches a length of more than 6 ft. However, its hood is, proportionately, much larger than that of the King cobra. This snake causes thousands of deaths each year in India, where it is regarded with religious awe, and is seldom killed.

Like most snakes the Cobras diet consists mostly of small mammals particularly rodents.

India, China, Vietnam, Malaysia and Thailand is where they usually live.


Venom and Bite:

The Asian Cobra contributes to thousands of deaths per year in India alone, but will seldom attack unprovoked. If death does not occur a serious bite can lead to permanent damage by destruction of tissue of loss of finger or limb.
