    Spitting cobras may have evolved unique venom to defend from ancient humans

    Woah...... Glad there's none of those where I live....

    "Some species of cobra have modified fangs with small, front facing orifices. These allow them to forcibly eject venom as a spray or “spit”, which can hit the eyes of a target up to 2.5 metres away.

    think of them as danger sprinklers! because to me that's what it looks like, but instead of water it's venom.
    Be kind, and inspire others to be kind.

    And spitting is just so RUDE, too!

    "Danger sprinklers" needs to be added as an entry to the dictionary of internet slang for snakes

    It's a good defense mechanism, you definitely want to have a ranged weapon if you're a noodle fending off a human!
