King Cobra is the only snake that makes its own nest. Why does it make its nest?
- It is a snake-eater and the nest helps attract other snakes
- It is a viviparous snake and needs a nest to give birth to its offspring
- It is an oviparous snake and lays its eggs in the nest and guards the nest until they are hatched
- It is a large, cold-blooded animal and needs a nest to hibernate in the cold season
Explanation
Option (c) is correct
The King Cobra is unique among snakes because it builds a nest for its eggs. It is an oviparous snake, meaning it lays eggs rather than giving birth to live young. The female King Cobra constructs a nest using leaves and vegetation, lays the eggs in it, and actively guards the nest until the eggs hatch. This behaviour is rare among reptiles and distinguishes the King Cobra from other snake species.
