King Cobra's
King cobra's - Ophiophagus hannah, live mainly in the rain forests and plains of India, southern China, and Southeast Asia. They can be found in trees, on land and in water.
They feed mainly on other snakes but will also eat lizards, eggs, and small mammals.
King cobras can reach 18 feet (5.5 meters) in length, making them the longest of all venomous snakes.
They can deliver up to 7ml of venom in one bite which is actually enough to kill 20 people, or even an elephant!
They are the only snakes that build nests for their eggs.
In the wild they live for an average of 20 years.
PS... Whoops! I just realised this thread was about amphibians - silly me!!!
