The Egyptian cobra is a type of venomous snake native to North Africa and the Middle East. Its bite is extremely venomous, ten times more so than the Indian cobra. The Egyptian Cobra is the most common cobra in Africa and has caused the most deaths. It lives from the Sahara Desert to the Syrian Desert. The Egyptian Cobra, like all other cobras, raises its hood when in danger. It is also the largest of all cobra species with a maximum length of 300cm. Apparently they also don't "dance" to music.. but follow the movements of the flute as it's played.

Marietha, the contrast between light and shadow make this a very interesting photo. Sharp focus on the subject adds to its overall appeal. And now I have to ask - how far away from this lovely creature were you when you took it? :)) - Patty

Yes, I was wondering about the distance too! Great shot of a beautiful snake, strikingly presented. Didn't know that there were different kinds of them. I know I was always fascinated by them (from afar, of course!), and I saw on film one cobra with his hood up and bloating, the sound it made, and it gave me shivers. Thank you for sharing this most wonderful image Marietha.

Great Capture. I don't know what's got this fellows attention but you caught that intense concentration perfectly and clearly. Couldn't ask for a more perfect positioning of that long body. Beautiful!
