what do cobras eat

Cobras, specifically king cobras, primarily eat other snakes, including venomous and non-venomous species like Indian cobras, kraits, rat snakes, and pythons. They occasionally eat lizards and other small vertebrates such as rodents, birds, and eggs, especially when snake prey is scarce. Cobras use venom to incapacitate their prey and then swallow it whole by unhinging their jaws.
