spitting cobra snake pics

spitting cobra is one of several species of cobras that have the ability to eject venom from their fangs when defending themselves against predators. The venom sprays out in distinctive geometric patterns, using muscular contractions upon the venom glands. These muscles squeeze the glands and force the venom out through forward-facing holes at the tips of the fangs.spitting cobras and vipers have been noted to spit occasionally. Certain predominantly non-spitting Asian cobras have the spitting tendency.
