Why is it called the king of toxicity?
It turns out that the Bengal cobra squeezes the connective tissue around the venom gland and develops the muscles when it attacks, so that the venom is quickly transported from the venom gland to the fang, and shoots out through the small hole at the tip of the fang. Simply put, you it off, or it wants to clean you up, and sprays poison.

Don't underestimate the venom of the cobra, the venom it ejects is a nerve agent that can slowly paralyze the nerves. If a human is attacked too closely, the Bengal cobra will generally bite the person for 2 minutes without letting go, and if the person does not seek medical attention in time within 6-12 hours, the bitten person will die of respiratory and heart failure.
