LIKE A COBRA!
It’s just before sunset on the long drive into the Great Victoria Desert in Western Australia when I come across a Mulga Snake (Pseudechis australis) on the side of the road. As I approached the snake began to show me its best impression of a Cobra. This is a typical Mulga snake defensive display designed to intimidate any would-be predators. For maximum intimidation Mulga snakes flatten out their neck and raise their fore body high up off the ground. This behavior is mostly bluff but can result in a bite if you don’t back away and give the snake the space it deserves.
