Diet

The King Cobra’s diet consists primarily of other snakes including rat snakes, small pythons and even other venomous snakes such as various members of the cobra family.

Habitats

The King Cobra lives mainly in the rainforest,  bamboo thickets and mangrove swamps as well as other habitats with dense undergrowth (thick bush areas) and heavy rainfall. It can live from sea level to mountainous regions over 2,000 metres high.

Mating

Did you that the world’s longest venomous snake is also the only snake that builds a nest for his young cobra? The male and female carefully guard their eggs,  being ready to attack whenever there is danger. Females typically lay 20 to 40 eggs at a time, which hatch between 60 and 80 days. Cobras will stay near the eggs and defend them until they hatch. Wild boars and mongooses are known to steal cobra eggs. The mongoose is the best-known enemy of the cobra.

Appearance

The King Cobra is the only member of its kind. It is the longest species of venomous snake in the world. Though they can reach lengths of up to 6 metres, although they are usually 3 - 4 metres long.

Conclusion

My next step is to write the information in my own words more independently
