This is the world's longest venomous snake. It is,on average,3,6m(12 feet) long, but is known to grow up to 5,5m(18feet).It is olive or brown in color and often has yellow or white bands. It makes a low hissing sound that sounds more like a dog's growl. The king cobra's hood lacks pattern distinguishing it from other cobras. The king cobra has to rise while attacking because it can only strike downwards. In fact, it can rise up to 1,8m(6feet)-that is as tall as full-grown man!
