The Indian cobra, scientifically known as Naja naja, belongs to the Elapidae family due to its characteristics as a venomous snake with fixed front fangs. Members of the Elapidae family, which includes other snakes like mambas and coral snakes, are known for their potent neurotoxic venom and agile hunting abilities. The Indian cobra displays typical elapid features, such as a hood that it can flare when threatened, and its venom is primarily neurotoxic, affecting the nervous system of its prey. This classification reflects its evolutionary adaptations and ecological role within its environment.
