Can cobra venom kill an elephant?
How powerful is their Venom? Cobras venom is not the strongest there is, but cobras can inject so much venom in a single bite that they can kill an elephant. Sea snakes have deadlier venom, and rattlesnakes have weaker venom. Anyway, if you plan to be around venomous snakes – always have a Snakebite First Aid Kit close by.

Thank god we don't have snakes in New Zealand.

I said false because of the thickness of elephants skin which would prevent a lethal dose

I don't plan on being around any kind of snake.

How can snakebite first aid kit helps when it all depends entirely on the kind of snakes. Much better not to be around with venomous snakes.

doalneill, Exactly!!

The Australian Taipan is the deadliest snake in the world with the brown snake in second place.

Our snakes are of the two leged types.

doalneill, I agree. I suspect someone, somewhere injected snake venom into an elephant just to get the answer

Snakebite kits are little more than a razor blade and insufficient suction cup. Antivenom is what you need.

Carroll Price, Not likely, thanks all the same. Do appreciate the thought, lol but one this one would prefer NZ be the odd one out.

Easy. True and false questions are approximately 97% true and “All of the above or below” or “All of them” are the answer.

Easy peasy.

Yes, but the cobra's fangs cannot penetrate an elephant's think skin to inject the venom!

Sheldon Burnston, no, the python is a large snake and is non venomous

Janice Lea Vanlandingham, no unfortunately you are not correct. Australia has “the brown snake” and it is highly venomous
