The two main categories of venom used to classify poisonous snakes are hemotoxic and neurotoxic. Any poison that directly affects an animal's or human's nervous system is considered a neurotoxic.
Since king cobras mostly consume other snakes, they are regarded as cannibalistic. They occasionally might consume a bird, rodent, or small animal.
The only snake that constructs a nest is the king cobra.

These snakes have a lifespan of more than 20 years in the wild.
