King cobras (Ophiophagus hannah) live mainly in the rain forests and plains of India, southern China, and southeast Asia, and their colouring can vary greatly from region to region. They are comfortable in the trees, on land, and in water, feeding mainly on other snakes, lizards, eggs, and small mammals. They are the only snakes in the world that build nests for their eggs. They feature prominently in folklores and ancient legends of India, and are the snake-charmer’s snake. (Photo by Biju/Alamy Stock Photo)
