About this card: The Cobra

PopThatCard.com acknowledges Reptiles and Amphibians - Miles Kelly Publishers, for some of the following information...

When on the defensive, a cobra rears its head back in a striking pose. It spreads the skin of its neck into a flat hood to make it look bigger. I've tried to capture that movement in this pop-up design.

People often say that the Cobra is the world's deadliest snake. One reason for this is that, in India, Cobras kill more than 7000 people every year. Also, a king cobra bite can reportedly kill an elephant in under 4 hours.

You would think that snake charmers are mad the way they put themselves in danger, getting the cobra to sway back and forth, as though in a trace. To an onlooker it appears as though the cobra is about to strike - and it sometimes does! But there's a trick. The snake's fangs have been permanently removed to make its bite harmless.
