[Dr Farokh Master]
The king cobra is the longest venomous snake in the world. It is fierce,
agile and can produce large amounts of highly potent venom in a single bite
making it the most dangerous, feared Asiatic snakes.
Morphology:
The king cobra’s head is large and massive bearing 2 fangs about ½ inch
long through which they transfer venom into their prey by their bite. They have
two black beady eyes located on the front.
The neck is exaggerated due to folds of loose skin on either side of it.
On an average, they measure 3.6–4 m (12–13 feet) in length and typically weighs
about 6 kg (13.2 lb).
Their color varies from olive green, brown to black
interspersed with yellow or white crossbands
(chevrons). The underbelly is creamy or pale yellow. Juveniles are shiny black
with narrow yellow bands.
Habitat: The King cobra is found in the South-east Asian rainforests
preferring rainy and humid climates/lives in dense highland forests areas
with lakes and streams.
Behaviour: King Cobras use their forked tongues to receive chemical
information in the form of smell by drawing scents into their mouth and
transfer them to a special sensory receptor called ‘Jacobson's Organ’ located
in the roof of its mouth. Hence by flicking their forked tongue they are able
to locate their prey and attack them.
They have exceptionally good vision and can see up to 330 ft (100 m)
away. King cobras do not chew their prey, but swallow them whole hence to allow
the jaw bones flexibility, the jaw bones are attached loosely by pliable
ligaments. As the King cobra is swallowing its prey, the toxins start digesting
the prey. When they feel threatened, they raise up one-third of their body,
flattening the neck, showing the fangs and hissing loudly. They are easily
irritated by closely approaching objects or sudden movements. The King Cobra is
a carnivore and eats mainly other snakes, but will eat lizards, frogs, and
sometimes small mammals. The King Cobra is the only snake that builds a nest
and guards it until the eggs hatch.
Toxicology: When the King Cobra is born, its venom is as strong as the
adult's venom. It will also sometimes spit in its prey's eyes which stings and
will kill rapidly if it gets into the blood stream. The poison is a neurotoxin
that paralyzes the nervous system of its prey.
[Manjunatha, India]
Untersucht ein Molekül aus dem Gift der Königskobra, dass 20 -200x stärker wirkt als Morphin- und ebenfalls oral verabreicht werden kann.
Das kleine Molekül aus 11 Aminosäuren werde von der Mundscheimhaut absorbiert, wenn es unter der Zunge platziert wird, sagt er.
Manjunatha, der Patente für Dutzende weitere Moleküle aus Schlangengift hält, wurde in einem kleinen Dorf in Indien geboren, umgeben von Wald. Viele Menschen hätten dort wegen Schlangenbissen Gliedmaßen verloren oder sogar ihr Leben, erinnert er sich. Als junger Forscher wollte er verstehen, was das Gift so gefährlich macht. "Warum sind menschliche Eiweiße hilfreich und Eiweiße aus dem Schlangengift so gefährlich?" Jetzt sei ihm klar, dass eine andere Frage noch interessanter sei: Welche dieser gefährlichen Eiweiße könnten der Menschheit am meisten helfen?
