It might not be a true cobra but I don’t think I’ve got the guts to say that to his face. 😅 🐍

People can debate and argue on whether or not he is a true cobra but no-one can argue that he truly is the king!

[allenatkins]

He identifies as a cobra, so we must respect his noun choice.

[TexasDog]

I don't care what they say. If he's got a hood, he's a Cobra.

The King is easily the Smartest snake there is.
Don't care if he's a Mock Cobra, Double 1st Cousin or just a Cannibal that Bad Boy can eat his weight in real Cobra's any time he wants.😉

All hail the King, the magnificent Ophiophagus hannah! My all-time favorite snake!

This is another name of "Death"...if you have not seen it yet ...but it looks so beautiful and dangerous at the same time...
Perhaps that's why people say Death has its own beauty...

Beautiful creature. I would probably stop breathing is it was on my path.

The cobra is considered sacred by Buddhists. When Siddhartha was in the forest doing his meditating rain began to fall. And the cobra spread it's hood over him. Siddhartha blessed him by pressing his fingers against the hood. That's why cobras often have a mark on the back of their hood.

Imagine if the king Cobra actually knew English:
KC: How dare you like that to your

[HeyItzJsans]

Other cobras : you are not a part of the bloodline

King Cobra: Say that again 🐍

[benkeel]

Gorgeous. All of God's creatures are beautiful.❤

That's true! _Naja naja_ (The Indian Cobra) is the one. It even has the same genus and the species name.

If it's got a hood it's a more of a Cobra than Black Mamba.

[rickmartin]

The most famous snake in the world, the deadly King Cobra.

[CreasyEQ]

It's one helluva snake 🐍 regardless 💯

[soey.carter]

King cobras seem to have this aura about them that no other snake has, when they look at you it’s almost as if you’re staring at another soul. Such majestic creatures

[AR-ovnr]

He may not be a true cobra - but he is truly handsome....

[amigogon]

Ok so we will call him king mamba from now on

There are also a class of snakes called "false cobras" - these snakes mimic the cobra "hood" as well, but are not venomous, or only have mild venom.
