Known as the serpentine king of the jungle in South East Asia, and inspiration for the villain Kaa in the Jungle Book, the King Cobra lives in many different environments, including pristine forests, degraded forests, mangroves, swamps and woodlands of #Thailand, #Cambodia, #Malaysia, #Laos, #Vietnam, #Bangladesh and #India. Their main threat is human-wildlife conflict and ongoing persecution. Palm oil deforestation and other agricultural expansion is also a big threat throughout their range. The world’s largest venomous #snake has a neurotoxic bite powerful enough to kill twenty people or an adult elephant. Sadly, these majestic creatures are persecuted for this reason and do not have adequate protection. Help them every time you shop and #Boycottpalmoil #Boycott4Wildlife
