Monacled Cobra, Naja Kaouthia 
 
Naja Naja Kaouthia

Respected in all it's native regions.  This animal is revered and in some cultures it is even believed to be able  to forgive certain sins.

The above animal injects it's venom directly though fixed non-retractable fangs in the front of it's mouth.  This cobra does not "spit" or spray it's venom like some other species.  It uses a nerve toxin like a sea snake and very little muscle poison (myotoxin, proteolytic enzyme) or blood poison (hemotoxin) which are found more in US native poison snakes.  Only about 4% of all species of snakes have any poison. 

This relatively very calm animal carries a great air of dignity and is usually not aggressive towards humans.  The animal moves with an incredible grace, elegance and sense of practical intelligence.
