HOOD SCARE....!!!


Spectacle Head cobra are the common cobra....having a spectacle like marking on their back of their hood...They spread the hood when in danger and is a posture taken when its about to strike...they stand about a foot or two tall and the bite will be death knell....

They are no threat unless you step on them...they strike in defense...Usually it is the victim of sense less mankind who either over worship or kill it due to the shear fear of its potent venom...
Once such pic. shows it was hurt....!!!
