The King Cobra snake is also perhaps the most dangerous snake in the world where humans are concerned.

Sorry to burst it, it is not the most dangerous in the world.
It doesnt even make it to top 5 most dangerous..... but it is deadly as well.

Being long does not qualify a Cobra to be a King Cobra,it is a particular specie of Cobra..

This is an especially long Forest or Spitting Cobra..

Bro, ordinary cobras rarely reach such length.

The face though would have told a lot if it were to be a king cobra as king cobras usually have angry-looking faces.

I feel there should be some research on that snake instead of it going into a pot. There's no definitive authority when it comes to science. What is right today was likely wrong yesterday. That's how we keep learning and evolving.

That snake may have serious common characteristics with a king cobra, or evn be one.

Cobras are large snakes; many species reach more than 6 feet long (2 meters). According to Cape Snake Conservation, the forest cobra is the largest true cobra, reaching 10 feet (3 m), and Ashe’s spitting cobra is 9 feet (2.7 m), making it the world’s largest spitting cobra. The smallest species is the Mozambique spitting cobra, which is about 4 feet long (1.2 m). King cobras, the longest of all venomous snakes, can reach 18 feet (5.5 m).

Earlier this week a king cobra was caught in my home town with a wire trap. This was an unintentional catch. The wire trap was set to catch a rabbit popularly known as ewii in igbo.

The King Cobra Snake (Ophiophagus hannah) is the largest venomous snake in the world. The King Cobra snake is also perhaps the most dangerous snake in the world where humans are concerned. Under conditions of high prey availability they can reach a length of 18.5 feet. Several people die from the bite of the King Cobra each year. A King Cobra can even kill an elephant.

That guy talk say you go kill Mami Water one day grin
