The animal I did research on is the Ophiophagus Hannah or King Cobra. The first thing I’m going to talk about is it's physical description. A king Cobra can get up to 10-12ft. The difference between a full grown cobra and a small cobra is that the full grown cobra could be green, yellow, black, and brown. Know that a cobra is very aggressive. Since we are talking about baby cobras, let’s go into reproduction. The female cobra can lay up to 21-40 eggs. The female stays and guards her eggs. She gets very aggressive towards humans.

They are very dangerous snakes. Usually they would rather be left alone but will attack if they’re cornered or provoked. This doesn’t occur with the females who may attack without provocation. They can chase their prey considerable distances. Now we are going to talk about habits. They normally eat cold-blooded prey and other snakes. The snakes that cobras eat are harmless species. My last thing I’m going to talk about is habitat. Cobras live in streams or open forests, bamboo thickets, dense mangrove swaps, and adjacent agricultural areas.So that’s my animal. I hope you liked it. I also hope you learned more about th King Cobra.
