If a Cobra bites itself, can it die?

a cobras body is not completely venomous. in fact, jungle people eat parts of cobra here in india after removing the venomous parts from the cobra which is cold-blooded. one very interesting fact is a cobra never bites itself and if it bites itself in the non-poisonous area, it is sure to die.

Unless you remove the duct tape or provide air holes, yes they will die. Even if you do provide air holes and they are not large enough, they can die. I do not know what you are planning, a practical joke, or a hazing or whatever, but doing this can be considered and act of attempted murder. It is not funny in any case.

As already stated, a shark would not be able to turn in it's own body length to attack itself.  I know this sounds gruesome, but I have seen a video of a disembowelled shark eating its own entrails time and time again until it died.  The shark was in a feeding frenzy.  So My answer would be if it could, it would!.

Of course! Venom can be used to make vaccine! This can be useful for those people have high risk of contacting snake bite.\n\nAlso, blood pressure lowering drug, Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitor was developed based on the observation of blood pressure dropping effect after being bitten by snake.As a result, an analogue molecule was developed rationally

There probably aren't any plant extracts that would\nbe antidotes to cobra venom.  What is needed is\na specific anticobra antivenin.  Such antivenins do\nexist and hospitals in Sabah may well have them\navailable.  \n\nCobras are so dangerous that anyone working\nwith them needs to take extreme care, and to get\nadvice and assistance from someone who knows\nhow to deal with them.  The venom is so toxic\nthat an animal as small as a mouse would be\nkilled by a very small amount.  This is especially\ntrue of the king cobra which feeds almost entirely\non other snakes which require a more potent\nvenom to kill them than mammals do.  The best\nthing to do with cobras is avoid them unless you\nare an expert.

I don't think it's really possible to know that without testing it. But I would guess that your idea is right, because there would not be enough venom to kill an animal that large. It would probably make it sick. But then again, a whale, or any other really large animal, would react differently to the venom. It might kill it despite the size.

Even if they lose sight of a prey they struck, rattlesnakes can still track them.  So that way, they don't have to hold onto their prey while it slowly dies.  If they did, they'd be at risk of injury by a flailing mouse or whatever.  Rattlesnakes have been shown to be able to tell the difference between the trails of unstruck rats and struck rats, opting for the envenomated rat.

If the blood of the primate is very similar to your blood. Otherwise, your body may not cope with it, and you will die, or your body rejects it, and you will die. Unless you transfuse it out of you, but that leaves you with no blood again.

snakes had legs at one time, the only part left of the leg is a hook or a finger nail that is near the snakes tale, some snakes are poisonous, they use their fangs which are hollow to inject venom into their victim to paralyze it, then they eat it hole. Some snakes are non poisonous and they kill by constricting which means they wrap around their prey until the prey can't breath any more it dies and the snake eats it.  Snakes eat once a month or less depending on how big of a meal it kills.  Snakes don't chew.

Yes, absolutely, snakes do piss urine. How do I know, you ask?!!?\n\nBecause I've owned one and I've seen it happen many times but only under the freakiest of moments and circumstances!\n\nThe snake I owned was a rock cobra, a particularly nasty and active snake who'd eat one mouse every day or more while most pet-shop cobras are much more inactive and eat only a mouse every few days, by strangling the mouse to death and then opening up its jaws swallowing it down whole.\n\nA large number of snake species regurgitiate and cough up parts of the prey it can't digest, bones, hair etc. which is what my snake did and which left me to believe that that was ALL the waste material the snake was going to produce. \n\nThis snake was particularly ornery and hated to be touched or moved around. \n\nOne day as my brother and I took the snake out of its cage it began to shake and coil itself away from us as we both held on to it as tightly as possible.\n\nThe snake then did something that literally scared and shocked the both of us into letting the snake go which we did but caught before it slithered away.\n\nThe snake in trying to frighten us to letting it go, began pissing and defecating all over in all directions! Now, if you don't expect an animal to defecate or urinate and all of a sudden it does those very things you NEVER EXPECTED, you will certainly be startled by it. \n\nThis happened many many times whenever we handled the snake and as it tried to scare us into letting it go. It was the only times I've ever seen a snake urinate or defecate, ever!!  True story.

No. A infected tick has to bite you.

King Cobra and the Rinkals are not true cobras because in the true cobras (genus Naja), the "hood" is composed of ribs, which are movable. while this is not the case with these two.\nThe King Cobra should win a fight with the black mamba, the size and its ability to withstand heavy doses of venom favouring it. But you can't be sure , because the two never occur together in the wild....

Any animal will bite if scared or angry.  They don't do it vindictively, they are just protecting themselves like they would in the wild.

If the person who bites you had aids, and the bite cuts beyond the protective layer (ie brings blood) there is a chance although minimal.  But the AIDS foundation for nursing gives it a 50/50 % rate.

you mean the milking of snakes? or milk like a bucket of cows milk?\n\nMilking doesnt hurt snakes in any way.\n\nI dont believe a snake would ingest milk on its own, although they may eat lactating creatures, IE mice or something.  Although they could drown in a large pool of milk just as much as if it were water.
