King Cobra

    If you're ever walking through the forest in Southeast Asia, you might see a big, 18-foot-long snake. If you do, don't go near it or look to closely. It might be a king cobra. The king cobra is the  biggest poisonous snake in the world. If you're lucky, you'll see the cobra before it sees you.    Then you can stay clear.. If it sees you first watch out. It may attack. The cobra is the few snakes that will attack people. They attack even if they haven't been stepped on or hurt.  All of a sudden, they raise their heads so they're about as tall as you are. Then-zap-they bite you. People who are bitten by cobras are killed quickly. Cobras inject a lot of poison when they bite.  This snake may be very poisonous, but some people in Burma still worship it.  They even kiss it on the head.
