EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Laura Wickenden from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are presented with a mesmerizing sight of a Monocled Cobra spreading its hood to make its head look larger. The snake, light brown in color, showcases pale flecks on its scales, adding an exquisite touch to its already stunning appearance. This image not only highlights the beauty of this particular species but also provides valuable insights into the world of zoology and herpetology. As part of the squamata order and serpentes suborder, these reptiles belong to the elapidae family and are commonly found in Asia. The Monocled Cobra's ability to spread its hood is truly remarkable. By expanding their necks and raising their distinctive hoods, they create an intimidating display that serves as both a warning signal and a defense mechanism against potential threats. However, it is important to note that despite their striking appearance, these snakes possess potent venom which makes them highly dangerous. They fall under the category of poisonous elapids or Asian snakes known for their toxic bites. Laura Wickenden's skillful capture allows us to appreciate the intricate details of this magnificent creature while reminding us of the diverse wildlife that exists around us. This print stands as a testament to nature's wonders and serves as an educational tool for those interested in exploring reptilian biodiversity.
