Elapids, a family of venomous snakes that includes cobras, mambas, and kraits, typically kill their prey using neurotoxic venom. This venom affects the nervous system, leading to paralysis and respiratory failure. Elapids deliver their venom through hollow fangs while biting their prey, which allows them to subdue it quickly. Once immobilized, they can consume their prey at their leisure.
