Cobra Movement

Cobra movement refers to the way a cobra strikes rapidly and precisely, often characterized by a sudden extension of its upper body and opening of its hood as a warning. This movement involves detecting perceived threats through its senses, then reactively lifting its front part, spreading its hood to appear larger, and swiftly lunging forward to defend itself or intimidate. The motion combines muscle coordination and flexibility, allowing the snake to deliver a quick strike from a coiled position, often with a precision that helps it efficiently target its prey or deter predators.
