Largest Spitting Cobra Grows to 9 Feet In Length
The newly anointed Ashe's spitting cobra, or large brown spitting cobra (Naja ashei), can reach lengths of more than 9 feet (274 centimeters) and is believed to deliver more venom with a single bite than any other cobra on the planet.
This cobra is not a new discovery, but what is new is that recent DNA tests prove that it is it's own species of cobra. This is an aggressive and extremely poisonous snake...not a good combination! You would defintely want Rikki Tikki Tavi around if this guy came to visit!
Okay, the photo. Freaked. Me. Out. I shall have nightmares about that nine foot snake for a couple of nights.
Guaranteed, Melissa.
It's funny that you mentioned Rikki Tikki Tavi because I have been thinking about that name and the story recently, but can't fully remember the story. I did try to click on your link and that website "was busy" so I never did find out.
Guess I'll have to come here again to check the link again, to fully remember the story.
I know, I could just Google it. But it would be more fun to come back here :)
Cheers!
