I need to write a 5 paragraph descriptive essay on the King Cobra. Can someone help me write it please?

Answer 1

Do your own homework. You will never learn anything if you have other people do it for you.

Answer 2

The king’s Latin name (Ophiophagus hannah) refers to its favorite meal— ophiophagus means snake-eater. Its culinary preferences probably gave the king cobra its English name.
King cobras prefer nonvenomous snakes like the rat snake, but they also dine on venomous Indian cobras, kraits, and even small king cobras, thus earning the ignoble title, ‘cannibal.’

The king cobra’s deadly fangs are almost half an inch (8-10 millimeters) long. Because they are fixed to the upper jaw, they have to be short. If they were longer, the king might bite the floor of its mouth and commit royal suicide.
Angled back into the snake’s mouth, the fangs help push the prey on its path to the stomach.


With no external ears or eardrums, it’s understandable that until recently, experts maintained “Snakes are deaf.”
It turns out that king cobras do hear, however. Sounds travel from the skin to the jaw muscle to the quadrate bone next to the ear bone. From there they pass to the inner ear. Nevertheless, response to a snake charmer’s flute is due to visual cues.

The king’s hiss is much lower than most snakes’, more like a dog’s growl. It’s produced by tiny holes in the trachea and is resonated by the lung.
The king can stand up to one third of its total length, or from three to six feet (one to two meters) high, and has the ability to move forward in the intimidating pose.
An upright posture without the hood extended is a friendly gesture and the snake often assumes this pose to see over bushes or tall grasses.

this is where i got the information im sure there is more if you want to check it out for yourself this should help you with the essay you have to write good luck.

Answer 3

In the first paragraph, it would be a good idea to talk about the basic facts of the snake, where it lives normally, etc. Just give enough background information to help the reader understand the snake, and then provide a "hook" to draw in the reader. In your three body paragraphs, focus on a different aspect of the snake. Maybe in one you could focus on what it usually looks like, and in another describe its actions, and in the last paragraph, discuss what happens to someone/something that's bitten. End with a conclusion that sums up your main points, doesn't state anything new, and ends the essay with a final thought. Good luck with it.

Answer 4

The world's largest venomous snake is the king cobra, or hamadryad (species Ophiophagus hannah), found from southern China to the Philippines and Indonesia. It is often more than 3.6 m (12 feet) long; one is reported to have measured 5.6 m (18 feet). This species guards its 20 to 40 eggs, which are laid in a nest of leaves. It preys chiefly on other snakes and is known to have pursued people; however, relatively few bites are reported.
