King cobras can grow up to 18 feet long and display a range of scales including yellow, green, brown, and black. Equipped with fangs that reach three inches long, they can form hoods using their neck ribs when threatened. Inhabiting tropical deciduous forests and grasslands of India, China, and Southern Asia, these carnivorous reptiles mainly consume rat snakes and lizards. Their unique sense of smell relies on a forked tongue, and they can survive for months without food. Their lifespan averages about 20 years, making them fascinating members of the reptile world.
