cobra

Volgens die woordeboek verwys die woord "kobra" na 'n giftige slang van die familie Elapidae, tipies met 'n kappie wat uitgebrei kan word om die slang groter en meer bedreigend te laat voorkom. Die kobra is inheems aan dele van Afrika en Asië en is bekend vir sy dodelike gif en sy vermoë om vinnig en akkuraat te slaan. In 'n breër sin kan "kobra" ook verwys na enige soort slang wat 'n soortgelyke voorkoms of gedrag het as die lede van die Elapidae-familie, of na 'n persoon of ding wat as gevaarlik of bedreigend beskou word.
