Talk:Cobra (snake)

What is the longest cobra ever found

I saw a discovery channel special that talked briefly about a species of snake that could tell where it's prey was going because it had infrared vision. Is that a cobra? Is it a viper? Was I imagining things?
 * Well, the Pit Vipers have a special organ to sense body heat from birds or mammals. The pit vipers include the rattlesnakes and moccsins and are the most common poisonous snakes in the Americas. Some types are also found in Eastern Asia. CFLeon 23:13, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Black Cobra is found in Pakistan
Traditionally, zoologists claim that black cobra is found in Pakistan. Older researches of pre1947 declare that black cobra is found in North India which is mostly today's Pakistan. i shall soon put sources for this. Any way, North India is still there and i havent removed it--Yahoo 12:20, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Why not compromise and at the same time make it clearer by using Kashmir, if that's what you mean?(I usually don't like to edit for spelling errors, but this one needed some clarification.) A mistake in the listing, by the way, Black cobra (Naja naja oxiana) is put on the list of 'False Cobras'. It's a subspecies, anyway. CFLeon 23:13, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

-I've moved Black Cobra to proper list and indicated subspecies rank. I'll try to get a better list- there's about a dozen species in Naga alone. CFLeon 23:16, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
