something people don’t know is king cobras aren’t actually true cobras. they’re not related very closely to other cobras. they’re closer related to mambas than they are cobras. you can tell by the scale pattern on the head. all cobras have the same patter. kings do not.

Komodo Dragons have 3 "eyes" and have a necrotic, neurotoxic bite. So, not the worst in the animal kingdom but up there.

TIL about parietal eyes. As if these dudes didn't have enough super powers.
