Since King Cobra's are an endangered species, what do they have to go through to survive?

Question

I'm doing a project, help!

Answer 1

My understanding is that their current status is "threatened."

One of the reasons for this is loss of habitat throughout India and parts of Asia.  The King Cobra is the only snake in the world to build a nest for its eggs (much like that of a bird).  With fewer "safe" places for them to build nests, more people disrupting nesting areas and many people simply destroying King cobra eggs when they find them; their population has been struggling as of late.

King cobras, unlike most other species of cobra, are also fairly aggressive when in proximity to people.  This has lead to numerous regional and local administrators / authorities to allow and even encourage bounties to be paid for cobra heads.

The good news is there are now a number of national parks and wildlife sanctuaries in northern India that protect King Cobras.

The best way to further insure that King Cobras have a future is to eliminate the bounties on them and to educate the villages that most often come in contact with them on how to respect and avoid troubles with these fascinating snakes.

Answer 2

Let's hope they go extinct

Answer 3

I don't think that they are endangered.

Answer 4

King cobras are not currently a threatened species. You have to click on conservation at this link. This second link has been vandalized a little bit but contrary to what people say it is periodically checked by experts and cleaned up from time to time.

Edit: Plus, if you look it up on the iucn red list, under search or expert search and type in king cobra you will get zero hits because it is not an endangered animal.

Answer 5

They don't survive very long once I get a hold of em because I just gulp them suckers right down!
