It uses its "spit", or venom, to paralyse other animals that are attacking or threatening it. For example, if a fox were to approach the spitting cobra, the cobra will spit at the fox to keep it away. This keeps the cobra safe and protected from the fox.

How does a spitting cobra use its spit to protect themselves?

A spitting cobra uses its venom, which it can expel with precision, as a defensive mechanism to protect itself from threats. By spitting venom at a potential predator's eyes, the cobra aims to cause temporary blindness and pain, allowing it to escape. This ability to accurately target its attacker from a distance enhances its survival chances without needing to engage in close combat.
