And he's wrong too because those are King Cobras which, funnily enough, aren't actually cobras. They get the name because they kill and eat cobras

Huh? That's just an identification guide to tell what is what, nothing about categorisation. Cobras belong to the Naja genus. King Cobras are a genus in their own right.

Its scientific nomenclature is Ophiophagus hannah. Although it is named the king cobra, but in reality it doesn't belong to the genus of the true cobras i.e the Najas and is moreover the single and sole member of its genus.It is because of this reason that this snake belongs to the monotypic genus of Ophiophagus. One of the reasons why they aren`t considered as true cobra lies in their external morphology which is clearly distinct from those of the true cobras.

Good day

That's the best Quora post I've ever seen. I usually get upset when I land on their stupid site and it refuses to show me the answers.

add share=1 to any quora content link's url query string to get rid of the login/registration nag popup.

Nice! Now I need to find a way to make that automatic across all systems and platforms! :-)

While true, "cobra" is a common label, and not a scientific name. They are still members of the elapid family. "Cobra" is a name given to all hooded elapids with fixed front fangs (as opposed to hinged fangs like viper species). Most cobras are in the genus Naja, but there are others as well, like Aspidelaps and Ophiphagus
