All of the above are constrictors
|
Detailed explanation-1: -In some cases, the cobra constricts its prey using its muscular body, though this is uncommon. After a large meal, it lives for many months without another one because of its slow metabolic rate.
Detailed explanation-2: -Boas and pythons kill their prey by constriction (they coil their muscular bodies around their prey and tighten their muscles to crush and kill).
Detailed explanation-3: -Cobras are a member of the genus Naja which is also their scientific name, and belong to the family Elapidae, which includes other venomous snakes like the King Cobra. The most well-known species of cobra is the Indian Cobra, scientifically called Naja Naja.
Detailed explanation-4: -The banded krait (Bungarus fasciatus) is a highly venomous relative of the cobra. Its venom is essentially a neurotoxin that induces paralysis.
