Oddly enough, the death cobra does not actively seek prey like other poisonous snakes. They often lie in an ambush site for days waiting for their prey to arrive. To lure the prey, the venomous snake uses the end of its tail to move . Animals such as frogs, lizards, birds, and small mammals who thought they had eaten will approach them, immediately being attacked by snakes and injecting poison into them. The snake's neurotoxin quickly killed the prey. People bitten by this snake can die after only 6 hours if not treated promptly.
