Indian Cobra (Naja Naja) - This spectacle like pattern on the back of its hood is the primary distinguishing physical characteristics of a Spectacled Cobra from a Monocled Cobra (found in the North-Eastern region of India), and the other Snakes. Cobras spread their hood wide when they are threatened, and raising their hood is the sign that the Cobra is in the striking position (like in the image).
