Elapidae

Elapidae is a family of snakes known for their highly venomous species, including cobras, kraits, and mambas. These snakes are characterized by their elongated bodies and fixed front fangs, which they use to deliver venom to their prey. Elapids are found in various habitats around the world, primarily in tropical and subtropical regions. Their venom can be dangerous to humans, but they play vital roles in ecosystems by controlling pest populations. Unlike some other snake families, elapids generally have a more slender build and are known for their agility and speed.
