The KIng Cobra emerged from the shadows and offered the Buddha its hood for protection. That which can kill can also cure.<br />So interesting about its memory!

There are some amazing facts and myths about the King Cobra but the main thing I learned is that if you ever encounter one of these snakes it's probably best to just leave it alone.
