Answer:

1) ✨Vipers are among the most dangerous snakes.

✨A viper has a stocky body, a large head, and long, hinged fangs for injecting venom in the front of its mouth. ...

✨Vipers hunt warm-blooded prey including rats and mice, and some of them hunt during the day.

The pit vipers, for example, are usually active at night. They have two heat-sensitive pits between their eyes and mouth for sensing prey's body heat.

✨The majority of vipers can be found in the tropics, but some can also be found in colder climates. While most vipers give birth to live young, a few species lay eggs.

✨Two pit-like holes beside a pit viper's mouth, close to its eyes, contain special heat-sensitive sensors. The pit viper uses these sensors to detect warm-blooded animal prey in the field. And at night, they can tell the snake precisely where it is and how far away it is. These "heat traps" can also be found in other snake species.

2) ✨The king cobra is native to India and can be found throughout Southeast Asia, including Bangladesh, Bhutan, Burma, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Laos, Nepal, the Philippine Islands, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. It is not a member of the Naja genus, which all other cobras are, but rather has its own genus, Ophiophagus, Greek for “snake eating.”

✨The king cobra can grow to about 16-18 feet in length and is the world’s longest venomous snake. Most king cobras are around nine to 13 feet in length, depending on their locality. They can weigh between 20-28 lbs, again depending on locality.

✨The king cobra habitat includes dense highland forests, open woods and pasturelands near bodies of water.

✨King cobras feed almost entirely on other snakes, though they are known to also eat rodents and lizards.

✨King cobra venom is highly toxic and the snake can deliver a considerable amount in a single bite, upwards of 200 to 500 mg of venom. The venom affects the central nervous system, which causes blurred vision, vertigo, drowsiness,and paralysis. It then causes the collapse of the cardiovascular system and eventually respiratory failure. Immediate medical treatment is essential to enhance survival from a king cobra snakebite. It is said that death can come to a person bitten by a king cobra within 30 minutes, depending on the amount of venom delivered during the envenomati
