What is the Egyptian cobra?

Egyptian cobra, or hire haje, is a poisonous snake found throughout the Middle East and Africa. It has a distinctive hood in common with other cobra, and although its natural choice of prey includes small mammals, it was documented as responsible for the death of people. The aggressive snake, the fact that death is relatively painless, is little for those who faced it. The only snake with poison poison is Cape Cobra, which is often food for the Egyptian cobra.

The length of the Egyptian cobra on average between 5 and 7 feet (about 1.5 to 2 m), although snakes up to 8 feet (2.5 m) are not unusual. The snake body is strong and narrows towards the tail. Like other cobras, the Egyptian cobra has a distinctive hood or oval part of the skin along the head and neck that expand when it is endangered. The most common in the northern part of Africa, Cobra has a dark brown back and a lighter brown underside, and many of them but a butt, dark brown stripe under a large head. The Egyptian cobra has largely large eyes that give it an advantage at night.

This Cobra adapted to life near human settlements. Cobra generally does not like what prey consumes to use its seemingly ubiquitous appetite and can feed on a number of small mammals. This wide diet was very adaptable and the snake lives on agricultural land and in cities all over its native range. The high toxicity of his poison and close to people has made him one of the most dangerous snakes in the world, and the Egyptian cobra is responsible for a large percentage of human deaths related to the snake.

Maybe because of its dangerous reputation, the Egyptian cobra is one of the most valuable snakes in the middle of the Charmers snakes in the Middle East. This cobra has long held a mystic on folklore and mythology in the Middle East. Cleopatra was reportedly committed by suicide by biting the snake, considered an Egyptian cobra. Egyptian Pharaohs were depicted as a picture of a cobra on their frontal foreheads, sothat mythology depicts these cobras as the king protectors. It was found that the mummified cobras were found by the Egyptian royal rank.
