Project Noah Fact of the Day: Named for the two circular ocelli patterns connected by a curved line that resembles a pair of spectacles, the spectacled cobra is the iconic cobra of movies and television. It is the most popular choice for use by snake charmers; and who can forget the pair of Indian cobras named Nag and Nagaina featured in Rudyard Kipling's short story "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi"?
Found throughout India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and southern Nepal, it inhabits a wide range of habitats throughout its geographical range.
