King Cobra head close up. (Ophiophagus hannah) The king cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) is the world's longest venomous snake, with a length up to m ( ft). This species, which preys chiefly on other snakes, is found predominantly in forests from India through Southeast Asia to Indonesia and the Philippines. Despite the word "cobra" in its name, this snake is not a member of Naja ("true cobras") but belongs to its own genus. The king cobra is considered to be a very dangerous snake.
