As we all know, Australian poisonous snakes are everywhere, inland taipan snakes firmly sit on the throne of the big brother, and the eastern cobra is the fierce second brother, in Australia clicked and killed, although the land is sparsely populated, but there are hundreds of people killed and bitten by it.
The eastern cobra is also called the "eastern brown snake", the genus of cobras, ovoviviparous, known as the most venomous and largest cobra. How toxic is he? Why is it also known as Australia's "killer king"? It is clear that the inland Taipan snake, which ranks first in the world's poisonous snakes, rarely hears of deaths. This 10,000-year-old second is famous, let's explore the reason in depth.
First of all, let's talk about the special constitution of the eastern cobra. Ovoviviparous, each laying up to 8-35 eggs, precisely because of its high yield and toxicity, can adapt well anywhere, has a wide distribution, and can be seen in almost all kinds of terrain in the world. It is mainly found in eastern Australia, central and northern Australia and New Guinea.
The length is generally about 1.5-2 meters, mainly eating other reptiles, amphibians, birds and small mammals, anyway, do not pick their mouths, so that they can feed. Dark brown or light brown, as well as black.
Eastern cobra detoxification amount of 26 mg, the highest existing record is 155 mg, Australian cobra has a total of 6 species, it is the largest in it. Not only is it the most venomous, but it is also the largest and can strangle other venomous snakes.
So why is he said to be a "murder king"?
First of all, it has a very strong sense of territory, and once a person or animal approaches, it will pose a classic defensive move, with its upper body propped up in an S shape, raising its head high, opening its mouth and then attacking quickly. The most extreme thing is that it will launch continuous attacks, not giving the opponent a chance to breathe at all, and has bitten 8 people in a row. This is a hell to die!
The eastern cobra is also the most murderous and biting viper! Won the title of "Murder King".
Secondly, its toxins are mainly coagulants and neurotoxins, although neurotoxins have little effect on people, but coagulants can cause human coagulation disorders that are bitten, and finally die of kidney failure. The fatality rate is as high as 10% to 20%, and 25 minutes of death have been recorded in injured patients, with the fastest one being 2 minutes (with allergic causes).
