Lead
The lead has been updated to reflect new information on spitting cobras. This has to do with the uses of their venom and the reasons for doing so, and it reflects new content added by my peer. The introductory sentence is concise, as is the rest of the section. There is not a brief description of the articles sections. I would try to combine the two sentences about studies indicating the reasons for spitting into one.

Content
I believe the content added is relevant to the topic, but I would say more information could be provided on physiological aspects other than defense mechanisms. This article does not deal with Wikipedia's equity gaps.

Tone and Balance
I believe the added material is neutral, and does not try to persuade the reader towards one opinion or another. None of the information added appears to be biased, but I am curious to know if there are any other reasons for spitting venom other than self-defense.

Sources and References
The information concerning the physiology of their venom is backed by sources, as is new behavioral information in the lead. The added material to the section on the benefits of spitting is missing citations. The content added accurately reflects what the sources state, and the information in both sources are thorough. One of the sources is current, while the other is a bit old being from 2005. I think more sources concerning physiological aspect could provide some interesting information on how they deal with their environment. The information I found on their venom content seems to be in-line with what was cited in this draft.

Organization
The material added reads well, as it is both concise and complete. I noticed one spelling error in the lead, where it says "nor" instead of what I imagine was supposed to be not. The material is separated well, and fits into existing sections and sections added.

Images and Media
No additional media was added by my peer, but I believe the images in the current article do a good job of indicating what spitting cobras are and how their fangs work to spit venom.

Overall Impressions
Overall I think the information presented was very interesting, as I did not know a lot about this taxa other than that they spit venom. I think more information could be added concerning other aspects of their physiology and how that factors into their defense mechanism. More sources could also be provided for the behavioral aspects in relation to their spitting.
