Here are a few tidbits about the snake:

It’s famous. This snake is the star of many Hindu legends and myths!

It can smell with its tongue. Snakes flick their tongues in-and-out of their mouths quickly to pick up scents.

It’s dangerous. There’s a very powerful poison inside this cobra’s body. That’s why most people in India and Pakistan respect this snake by leaving it alone.

It’s fun to look at. The Indian cobra has a very cool pattern on the back of it’s body. Some think the design looks like a pair of eyes!

Pretty amazing stuff, right?

Turn to page 14 in the November issue to get to full scoop on this sss-pectacular serpent.

Until next time, keep on reading!
