Known to be the longest of all venomous snakes, king cobras certainly aren't afraid of a fight. However, when it comes to fighting for mates, these giant serpents don't use their potent venom. Instead, the males will wrap around each other, struggling to push the other's face into the dirt. Learn more about this ritualized fight at: https://on.natgeo.com/43pHiIU | National Geographic

You've heard of the king cobra, right? But wait, it's not just one species—there are actually four king cobra species, as per. a new study. The research, led by biologist P. Gowri Shankar, shows genetic and morphological differences across king cobras from India to Southeast Asia. The four species are O. hannah, O. bungarus, O. kaalinga, and O. salvatana. The study also highlights the need for species-specific antivenoms, as current treatments may not be effective across all king cobra species.
