The Central Asian cobra is a large venomous snake that lives in Central Asia. It raises the front part of its body and flares its hood when threatened, and its venom acts quickly on the prey's nervous system.
The Central Asian cobra differs from other cobras by its lighter solid coloration without bright spectacle patterns on the hood. It is important for nature because it regulates the population of rodents in steppes and semi-deserts.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
