Ophiophagus - the snake eater. The diet of the king cobra is mostly made up of other snakes. They aren't completely immune to their own venom, so they have an interesting technique when fighting other king cobras for mates or food.

The UK home of National Geographic. Inspiring the explorer in everyone.
