King Cobras

Growing to an incredible 18 feet in length, the king cobra is the longest venomous snake in the world. When confronted, this deadly animal 'stands up' by raising up to one-third of its body off the ground and emitting a bone-chilling hiss. In this position the snake can stare a person in the face-eye to eye. The intimidating display is more than enough to scare off most would-be attackers! In King Cobras: The Biggest Venomous Snakes of All!, large, colorful photos and clear, grade-appropriate text engage young readers as they are introduced to the natural habitat, physical characteristics, diet, and behavior of these super-deadly serpents.
