A spitting cobra is any of several species of cobras that can project venom from their fangs when defending themselves.
Out of the 28 Naja species, 14 Cobras possess the ability to project venom from their fangs, giving them the name ‘spitting cobras’.
Spitting cobras tend to aim for the eyes while spitting out the venom, which is often a combination of neurotoxins and cytotoxins that can easily cause paralysis, corneal swelling and permanent blindness.
It has been theorized by scientists that the species developed this adaptation as a primary defense mechanism to evade being trampled by antelopes.
