In Mother Nature's world, the king cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) is an extremely deadly species of venomous snake. As if the animal's ultra-lethal venom weren't scary enough in and of itself, it's also a remarkably fast snake, able to slither after its prey at 12 mph (19.31 kph). About the only thing that might make a would-be human victim breathe a little easier is the fact that the flesh-and-blood king cobra doesn't fly. Yes, there are flying snake species (though it'd be more technically accurate to call them "gliding snakes"), of the genus Chrysolopea, but luckily they're nonvenomous to humans.
