The King cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) is the longest venomous snake in the world. It is also one of the most famous snakes on our planet. Did you know that the King cobra is not a true cobra? True cobras belong to genus Naja. So, which snakes are the closest relatives of the King cobra? You might be surprised by the answer - mambas! Two longest venomous snakes in the world, the King cobra and the Black mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis) are much closer related than you probably thought! Should the King cobra be called the King mamba???
