Secrets of the King Cobra Airs on National Geographic – Worldwide
Secrets of the King Cobra is an unprecedented journey into the natural history of the wild King Cobra, following them into their world-revealing what they do, where they go, and who they interact with-when we are not around. And surprisingly, the people of India are very much a part of the story. Early evidence suggests that kings might be more intertwined with humans than previously thought, making this project more important than ever. It is a close and personal look into the secret life of the King-and the best chance we have of ensuring the survival of this legendary snake.
He is the king of serpents: Unblinking, hypnotic, deadly, and hungry for his own kind. The king cobra, the largest venomous snake in the world, is powerful enough to kill a full-grown elephant… and yet we know almost nothing about it. Fortunately, that’s about to change. Tune in to find out how..

have u been scared 2 even get close 2 one n wat wus the biggest 1 u pickd up

dear Sir,i am a breeder of hanna , for over 18 years i have bred hanna,s of several subspecies as thai ,indian and indonesian. these animals are surely the most beautiful snakes in the world.i have started keeping venomous snakes when i was 8 years old and have done so the rest of my life ,i am 51 years of age and still love my snakes and going to get another subspecies china hanna,since i always have tried to stay in the background i can form a neutral picture of people who work with or sell snakes,i must say that i have the picture that a lot of people don’t know what they are doing and think that they are on top of the world when they are truly a bunch of loosers who take a lot of risk to be somebody in the snake world, my point is ,stay away from these beautiful animals and let them do wat they have been doing sinds the beginning of time,have respect for the king. these animals are inteligent and learn, that is why they get so old and big . i must say i have enjoyed the doc. and now this helps to understand these animals but there is a danger that a lot of people will try to have and keep these animals and a lot of them wil die ,i have been breeding to supply zoo and other animal parks and let the real snake keeper do their thing with captive bred animals so the animals in the wild will be left in peace. best regards will ,country netherlands

It was something of great contentment finding your site this morning. I came here just now hoping to come across interesting things. I was not frustrated. Your ideas for new approaches on this subject matter were insightful and a terrific help to me. Thank you for making time to create these things as well as for sharing your thinking.
