Cobras are highly venomous snakes belonging to the family elapidae . Cobras are well known for rearing up and spreading their upper bodies to form a hood when threatened. It is not uncommon for a bite from a cobra to be fatal. Cobras can be found in various parts of Europe and Asia.

Water snakes are can be any of a number of snakes that spend most of their time in or near fresh water. Most are colubrids and are either nonvenomous or only mildly venomous.

There are many differences. They are completely separate species - each with their own traits. Some cobras will actively chase down prey, while most puff adders simply lie in wait and let prey come to them.
