If the common cobra is famous for its deadly venom, the spitting cobra is even more terrifying when they can deliver venom towards the opponent at a distance of 3 meters.
The toxins they spit out are usually neurotoxic and tissue-damaging components. Thanks to this ability, the spray cobra can protect itself against enemies many times larger than itself.
In the clip above, when seeing the male lion intending to attack him, the cobra immediately sprayed venom into the lion’s face, causing the animal to roar and run away. Being hit by the venom, this lion will most likely go blind.
The venomous cobra is mainly found in southern Africa and Southeast Asia. In South Africa, they are commonly found in grasslands and arid semi-desert areas. In Southeast Asia, they are commonly found in forests, fields, grasslands and even near human settlements.
