are cobras venomous

Cobras are venomous snakes. Their venom typically contains neurotoxins that affect the nervous system, which can cause paralysis and potentially be fatal if untreated. Some cobras can also spit venom as a defense mechanism, which can cause intense pain and temporary or permanent blindness if it gets into the eyes. Different species of cobras have varying venom potency and effects, but in general, cobras are venomous and their bites require immediate medical attention to prevent serious harm or death.
