Little Cobra

Baby cobra emerging from an egg. The hatchling is able to take care of itself right away and can spread its hood and strike on the same day it hatches. A cobra's hood is formed by an extension of the ribs behind its head. The Jacobsen's Organ  gives a snake super smelling ability so it can sense tiny changes in temperature, helping to track prey at night. Did you know that a collection of cobras is called a quiver ?
