Red Spitting Cobra
PASS THE SAFETY GOGGLES!
Spitting cobras are the only snakes that use venom at a distance. Venom is sprayed from an opening near the tip of each fang and can be ejected over eight feet into the eyes of a predator causing irritation and temporary blindness. Like other cobras, “spitters” kill prey by biting and injecting venom.
