A prominent member of the Elapidae family, cobras are native to various regions in Africa and Asia, and their sizes, colors, and markings can significantly vary. Some species of cobras, like the king cobra, are capable of delivering fatal bites to their prey and humans. Also, certain species can "spit" their venom for a distance as a defensive measure.

1. Cobra

   A genus of poisonous snakes of the subfamily Elapinae of the family ELAPIDAE. There are six recognized species, all inhabiting Africa except the Asiatic (Indian) cobra, Naja naja. Some species "spit" their venom into the eyes of their "enemies". So-called spitting cobras show a high degree of accuracy in aiming for the eyes. The ringhals, the most highly specialized of the spitting cobras, is limited to southern Africa. Its spray destroys eye tissue and can cause blindness; its bite can cause death. (Moore: Poisonous Snakes of the World, 1980, p80)
