The king Cobra is the world's longest venomous snake, measuring up to 18 feet long.
This creature lives in the forests of India and Southeast Asia, where it lives on the ground and in trees. Its scales range from olive green to deep black, moving fluidly and serenely.
Despite their reputation as dangerous snakes, King Cobras display some surprising behaviors.
Females build nests for their eggs, a behavior typically associated with birds. Their nests provide a secure home for their offspring.
Unlike most venomous snakes, the King Cobra’s venom is so lethal it can kill elephants. Thankfully, this snake does not seek out confrontation. Instead, it flares its hood and lifts a third of its body off the ground, intimidating other animals, striking only as a last resort.
Additionally, the King Cobra eats other snakes, regulating their populations and maintaining the health of its ecosystem.

In challenging economic times, many people ponder the purchase of chickens as part of their domestic safety net. Successfully raising chickens, however, requires thoughtful consideration and research. It is distinctly different than stocking up on food
March 29th has come and gone – the first milestone in the roadmap out of lockdown, you can now meet 5 other people or another household outdoors. Making the most of the warm weather, (snow is forecast next week!?), my daughters and I sat with my elderly parents in their garden, the first time I have seen them, not behind glass for many weeks, and another step closer to being able to share a hug. My mum, never one for holding back, commented on my ‘lockdown locks’, and how I must be looking forward to the opening of hairdressers so my mane could be coiffured by a professional as opposed to me coaxing it into any style that doesn’t look like I have been pulled ‘through a hedge backwards’. Well, this got me thinking about my appearance, if I’m really honest as a busy working mum of two teens, it’s not a subject that even at the best of times, I give a lot of thought to, but during the last year, it’s fair to say I may have gone a little feral.
