The young cobra has enough venom, fully developed fangs and a poison delivery system sufficient enough to kill an adult person or cause serious health risks. The cobra venom is neurotoxic.
Cobra is one of the four venomous snakes that accounts for most of the snakebite deaths in India. Russell’s viper, Saw-scaled viper and the Common krait are the other members of the lethal league.
