One of the most dangerous snakes, because of her aggressiveness and very toxic venom. Most of the lethal incidents with snakes have to be written on her account, at least in africa (in India it is the cobra, but not the king cobra!). Worldwide, about 40.000 people die each year from snake bites. About 10.000 could be victims of this snake, if the numbers are correct.
Taken in a terrarium Scharnstein/Upper Austria, Austria in Winter 2007.
