The Egyptian Cobra ranges across most of North Africa north of the Sahara, across the savannas of West Africa to the south of the Sahara, south to the Congo basin and east to Kenya and Tanzania, and in southern parts of the Arabian Peninsula.



The Egyptian Cobra is nocturnal and is the most deadly cobra in the world. A bite from an Egyptian Cobra is extremely toxic and has been said to cause a very quick and painless death. **Works Cited:** Pedia, Wiki.
