Its body length is the longest among cobras, generally 3-5 meters, which can be ranked among the top few in the entire snake family.
Its entire body is gray and white, hence the name 'white-eyed spectacled cobra'. The head and neck of these snakes have flattened areas, especially when attacking other organisms, these two parts will unfold like a scarf. Its venom is very strong, and it is difficult to avoid death if bitten.

They like to live near the edges of the forest, where there are low shrubs and tall trees, and the water and temperature are all well-matched. In addition, there are many prey animals in these areas to ensure that they will not starve to death.
When encountering enemies, they are very different from other snakes. They can bravely look at the enemy and scare the enemy with their momentum, which is why the spectacled cobra is called 'over the ridge'. It can stand up about a person's height, and many people say how can it stand up without legs? In fact, its muscles are very developed and can support its upper body to maintain a straight state.

However, due to the rapid development of human scientific technology, the number of white-eyed spectacled cobras is also decreasing rapidly. Many unscrupulous merchants capture them to extract venom and make illegal profits.
