How does a cobra strike?

A cobra strikes by rapidly extending its neck and using its powerful muscles to propel its head forward towards its target. This action is often accompanied by a defensive display, where the cobra raises its hood to appear larger and more intimidating. The strike itself is quick, allowing the cobra to inject venom through its fangs into its prey, which can immobilize or kill it. This combination of speed and precision makes the cobra a highly effective predator.
