The Indian cobra is a medium-sized venomous snake. It lives in India and neighboring countries and is known for its ability to expand its neck into a wide hood.
The Indian cobra differs from other cobras by its special pattern on the hood. It helps maintain balance in nature by destroying many rodents, although its bites are dangerous to humans.
