When someone says predator, what comes to mind? Do you think tigers or bears? Sharks or Eagles? The directors of the HOWL Museum, Hunters of the Wild Lands, are looking for predators that deserve a spot in their exhibits. One predator that deserves a spot in the HOWL Museum is the most deadly predator when threatened. This predator is a fierce animal that rests for no animal or man. It is equipped with long piercing fangs that are filled with deadly venom,and a stare that will make you run for your life! This is, the King Cobra!

The King Cobra has amazing hunting skills. It hunts in the early morning or late evening, when its too dark for animals or humans to see. The King Cobra is able to taste the air with its tongue to find its prey, then, when close enough, it can pinpoint its victim. The way the King Cobra hunts is so skillful, that it’s as good, maybe even better, than three men!

The King Cobra’s fangs are 15 millimeters long, about the size of a jelly bean. In such a small space, these fangs surprisingly contain ounces and ounces of venom. This venom is so highly toxic, one bite could kill twenty men or a full grown elephant! Some think that the King Cobra only bites its prey, but it also spits its venom at its prey. When it spits, the King Cobra aims straight for the eye and almost never misses. It hits its target eight out of ten times. If you are in the spitting range or biting range a of King Cobra, good luck!

The King Cobra is so intimidating that it can paralyze its prey with fear. Its stare is enough to get you running! When threatened, this predator will hiss and sway its hood to look large and aggressive. It will also grow to its full height, which is the size of a full grown man. If the snake does grow to its full height you’re in big trouble because the King Cobra can spit its venom into your eyes no problem. The King Cobra’s name matches its personality perfectly;in Latin it means snake.

This deadly creature deserves a place in the HOWL Museum.No other animal performs better for this deathly role. Although some may think, there is a meaner more fierce animal to fit the job, compare it to the predator that has skill, venom, and size.
