Nature Wants to Eat You
Two things make spitting cobras more terrifying than your average venomous snake. The first is obvious: they have projectile weapons. The second is less so: they can see into the future. There are around a dozen species of spitting cobra, and all of them “spit” by squirting venom through small holes in the front of their fangs. Their venom can blind, and the cobras aim for the eyes. They wait until their target makes a jerky movement of their head, predict its position 200 milliseconds later and shoot at where their eyes are going to be. Source
