The King Cobra

The awesome fast king cobra is the best sneaking snake. It is very big and very fast.

Special features  

The King Cobra has a long tongue to grab its prey, if you look really close you can sea a forked shaped tongue.  It can go over anything it is so slippery. It is the longest venomous snake in the world. Did you know there are only about 784 of these snakes left.

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

So now you know some key facts about the King Cobra .The main thing is to stay away from them and let them keep their habitat to themselves.  

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

The New Zealand Forest Habitat

I have created a New Zealand forest habitat and included 3 creatures that live there, one endemic, one native and one introduced.

The forest habitat contains different levels of animal and plant species. The forest has lots of animals that are endemic, native and introduced. You can find kiwis, red deer and blue ducks even and I am doing them about a kiwi, red deer and a blue duck.

The endemic creature I am describing is the blue duck. The blue duck likes to live in the forest because there is water for them to swim around in.They can find more blue ducks there and they don’t have to stay in one pond for life.The blue duck’s prey include the larvae of caddisflies, stoneflies and mayflies, which are mostly attached to the downstream sides of rocks in the river. The blue ducks scrape the larvae off with their bills.

The kiwi is the native creature I will describe for you. Did you know that kiwis can’t fly? In the forest there are places for it to hide from bigger animals. The kiwis have more room to run around and they can rear their young. They eat seeds, grubs, and many varieties of worms. They also may eat fruit, small crayfish and eels. The kiwi has more fury feathers than feathers and it is the only bird in the world that has nostrils at the end of its beak.There are about 68,000 kiwi left in all of New Zealand. We are losing 2% of our unmanaged kiwi every year –that's around 20 per week.                     

The red deer lives in the forest because there is lots of room for it to run and raise young ones. They can easily find green grass and plants that they like to eat. Red Deer can find big herds and they can join the other herds. Did you know males grow horns every year? Most deer are related to red deer. Red deer are a free animal so they can easily find water and food, for this reason they should not be caged. Males have a shoulder height of 1100-1300 mm and weigh 95-215 kg with females smaller at 950-1050 mm shoulder height and weighing 85-110kg.

All of these animals I’ve described live in NZ forests which is their habitat.
