Facts About Cobras For Kids
Cobras and other snakes can sense changes in the air’s pressure before a storm, and this can make them move or act differently — but they aren’t literally “predicting” the weather like people do with tools!
Cobras can control how much venom they use — sometimes just a tiny bit or even none at all, and other times a full dose — depending on the situation!
Some cobras called spitting cobras can spray venom with great aim — they often hit their target’s eyes on purpose to protect themselves!
A cobra’s spine has hundreds of tiny backbone bones (vertebrae) — often around the same number as 300 — and that helps its body bend, twist, and slither in so many ways!
Cobras can still breathe while swallowing large prey because their windpipe opening (the glottis) can stick out of the side of their mouth like a little snorkel!
