The Indian cobra is a species of the genus Naja found in the Indian subcontinent and a member of
the "big four", the four species which inflict the most snakebites on humans in India. This snake is
revered in Indian mythology and culture, and is often seen with snake charmers. The cobra is deaf
to the snake charmer's pipe, but follows the visual cue of the moving pipe and it can sense the
ground vibrations from the snake charmer's tapping. Sometimes, for the sake of safety, all the
venom in cobra's teeth is removed.

Revered in Indian culture, the cobra is often seen with snake charmers.
Cobras are deaf, but feel vibrations of snake charmers.
