I am going to use the rattlesnake and the cobra for my examples...

If you are walking on a dirt path on a hiking trail with, say, your wife and you suddenly hear the sound of a baby rattle - the ones that babies like to shake just to shake it... You might be in a little bit of trouble. That's the warning alarm from the rattle snake... And if your wife is like most women (afraid of snakes).. She'll freak. When an enemy comes near (in our instance - YOU), the rattlesnake shakes its rattle to say "I know you're there. Don't come any closer." I would take the snake's advice - because odds are, you don't want to be bitten. Rattlesnakes strike after they give you their little warning rattle - it's just saying "Well - you're asking for it. Might as well give it to you."

The best thing to do if you hear a rattle is to back away slowly. Don't try to go any closer - even though it may be tempting. Rattlesnake bites are not some silly joke. They're poisonous snakes. Just stay as far away from them as you can.

For cobras, they tend to almost "stand up". They stretch their body upwards and their head tilts slightly down, a complicated death stare, really. The likelihood of anyone in the city encountering a cobra on the attack is very low.. But we should all know that we don't want to get a cobra bite, right? Rhyme. :) They're even more poisonous than rattlesnakes!! Deadly, actually!! Best thing to do in a situation that a cobra is looking AT you and "standing up"... Slowly back off. DON'T go any closer. It won't turn out well for you. Nobody wants to die because of a snake, right? I mean - we have arms and legs and they don't. And we have opposable thumbs. Don't be stupid! Just leave the snakes alone! :)

Hope this helped!! :) Xx Blessings!
