Three short podcasts about “Cobra”. Listen with the interactive player.

Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning

Narrator: Today's word is Cobra — noun, pronounced /ˈkəʊbrə/, with the stress on co.

Narrator: A cobra is any of several highly venomous snakes from the family Elapidae that are known for their ability to hood their necks when threatened.

Narrator: In plain English, it is a dangerous, poisonous snake that flares its skin around its head to look larger and scarier to predators.

Narrator: The name comes from the Portuguese term cobra de capello, which literally translates to snake of the hood.

Narrator: A common collocation is the king cobra, which is the world's longest venomous snake.

Narrator: It differs from a viper because a cobra is an elapid with fixed fangs, whereas vipers typically have long, hinged, folding fangs.

Narrator: Figuratively, the word is often used to describe someone who strikes quickly or holds a position of coiled, dangerous readiness.

Narrator: The term is used across herpetology, evolutionary biology, and even in the naming of military attack helicopters.

Narrator: So remember: a cobra is the iconic hooded snake that commands respect through its deadly venom and intimidating posture.

Podcast 2 — In conversation

Speaker A: Why do these snakes have such an iconic and instantly recognisable hood?

Speaker B: It is a defence mechanism; the COBRA, deriving its name from the Portuguese for a hooded snake, expands its ribs to intimidate potential threats.

Speaker A: Is it true they are the most dangerous snakes to encounter in the wild?

Speaker B: Indeed, they possess potent neurotoxic venom that requires immediate medical attention.

Speaker A: Example sentences?

Speaker B: The cobra raised its hood before striking, meaning it prepared to attack; The documentary featured the rare king cobra, meaning the largest species; He moved with the speed of a cobra, meaning he reacted with predatory precision.

Speaker A: Common mistakes?

Speaker B: People often confuse them with pythons, but remember that pythons are constrictors while cobras rely on venom.

Speaker A: Close relatives?

Speaker B: The mamba is a fast-moving cousin, the viper is a biological alternative, and the coral snake is an evolutionary twin that keeps its deadly charm!
