Dear All,
King Cobras Ophiophagus hannah are large, endangered serpents with an uncertain future mainly due to human-induced pressures on their populations and habitats. There have been reliable un-published reports of king cobra sightings in the North Coastal A.P - Orissa border.
Although this anecdote is basically about spotting a dead king cobra specimen in Srikakulam agency area of A.P, it is the first authenticated record of the species with photographic documentation from this geographical location.

I hope this might be of some interest to you all.
Thanks & Regards.
