Ошейниковая кобра (Hemachatus haemachatus) - Russian
URL: http://big-snake.narod.ru/enc/Reptilia/Serpentes/Elapidae/Hemachatus/Hemachatus_

У ошейниковой кобры клыки направлены вперед и яд может со смертоносной точностью выбрасываться на расстояние около 2 метров (6,6 футов). Этот яд достаточно силен, чтобы вызвать временное ослепление при попадании в глаза млекопитающих, в том числе и человека. Такая реакция, вероятно, в большей степени служит для защиты, чем для уничтожения добычи.
