• Grasslands – Tall grass offers cover; prey like rodents is abundant.

• Wetlands – Swamps and marshes support water snakes; moist conditions help regulate their body temperature.

• Mountains – Fewer species, but some adapt to cooler temperatures; hide in rocky crevices.

• Freshwater – Rivers and lakes are home to aquatic snakes; they eat fish and amphibians.

Where snakes live?

Snakes can live in many different places! Some snakes live in forests, where there are lots of trees and plants. Others live in deserts, where it is very hot and dry. Some snakes even live near water, like in rivers or lakes.

Snakes like places where they can hide, like under rocks, inside holes, or in tall grass. They need safe places to stay and find food.

1. Forests – Snakes hide under leaves and trees.

2. Deserts – Some snakes live in hot, sandy places.

3. Grasslands – They hide in the tall grass.

4. Swamps and Rivers – Some snakes like to swim in water.

5. Holes and Rocks – Snakes can live in holes or under rocks.

6. Farms and Gardens – They go where they can find food, like rats or frogs.

Snakes look for animals to eat, like mice, birds, frogs, or eggs.

1. Forests – Tropical rainforests, temperate forests, and woodlands.

2. Deserts – Many snakes are adapted to hot, arid environments.

3. Grasslands and savannas – Open areas with grasses and scattered trees.

4. Swamps and wetlands – Some snakes, like water snakes and anacondas, thrive in wet environments.

5. Mountains – Certain species can be found at high elevations.

6. Oceans – Sea snakes live in warm coastal waters, mainly in the Indian and Pacific Oceans.

7. Urban areas – Some snakes adapt to life near humans, especially in gardens, farms, or abandoned buildings.

Their specific habitat depends on the species and their need for warmth, shelter, and food.

• Snakes move by slithering on the ground.

• They use their tongue to smell things around them.

• Snakes eat animals like mice, frogs, and birds.

• They don’t have legs, but they can move very fast.

• Some snakes can be poisonous, so it’s important to be careful around them.

• Snakes help keep nature balanced by eating pests.

Being alone – Snakes like to be by themselves most of the time.And,staying alone.

Yes, cobras can bite people, but they don’t want to! Cobras are shy animals. They only bite when they feel scared or in danger. If you leave a cobra alone, it will leave you alone too.

Remember:
Never go near cobras.Tell an adult if you see one.

Yes, during COBRA time for Primary 2, there is often some element of play — especially in the "Activities" part of COBRA. While COBRA focuses on English learning (like comprehension, oral skills, bookwork, reading, and activities), teachers often include educational games and playful activities to keep young learners engaged.

• Venomous means they inject venom through a bite (like cobras do).

• Poisonous means something is harmful if you touch or eat it (like poison dart frogs or some plants).

So:

✅ Cobras are venomous, not poisonous.
❌ You don’t get hurt just by touching them — they bite and inject venom.

Cobras are venomous to help them stay safe and catch food.

1. To protect themselves
   If another animal tries to hurt the cobra, it can bite and use its venom to scare the animal away.

2. To catch their food
   Cobras eat small animals like rats, frogs, or birds. The venom helps make the animal stop moving so the cobra can eat it easily.

So, cobras use their venom like a special tool to survive in the wild!

Would you like a picture or a worksheet to go with this?

• Mice and rats

• Frogs

• Birds

• Other snakes

Cobras use their venom to catch their food. After biting, they wait for the animal to stop moving before eating it.

Cobras live in hot places like forests, grasslands, and deserts. They can be found in Asia and Africa. Some cobras live on the ground, while others can climb trees or swim in water.

The green tree python eats small animals like mice, birds, and lizards.
It hides in trees and waits quietly for food to come close, then it quickly grabs it.

"A cobra is a kind of snake. Cobras lay eggs. The baby snakes hatch from these eggs."

Some fun facts to help make it interesting:

• A cobra usually lays 20 to 40 eggs at one time.

• The mother cobra guards her eggs until they hatch.

The green tree python lives in rainforests.
It likes to stay in trees, where it can hide and wait for food.
You can find it in places like Australia, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea.

One fun fact about snakes is, snakes do not have eyelids!
They can’t blink like us.
Instead, their eyes are always open, and they have a clear scale over their eyes to protect them — like built-in goggles!

Yes! Snakes with two heads are called bicephalic snakes.

• “Bi” means two

• “Cephalic” means head

So, bicephalic means two-headed.

🟢 These snakes are very rare and usually born this way, not from injury.
🟢 Each head may have its own brain — sometimes the two heads fight over food!

Many people feel scared of snakes because:

• Snakes can move quietly and suddenly, so people get surprised.

• Some snakes are poisonous and can hurt people, so we need to be careful.

• Snakes look very different from animals we see every day, with long, slithery bodies and no legs.

• Sometimes, people don’t know much about snakes and imagine they are dangerous.

Snakes are part of the food chain. They help keep the balance in nature by:

• Eating pests

• Being food for other animals like hawks or lions

Even if you are a little scared of snakes, they are very important for the planet!

• Warm places – They enjoy the sun or warm rocks.

• Hiding – They like to hide in grass, holes, or under logs.

• Food – Snakes eat animals like mice, frogs, or birds.

• Quiet – They don’t like loud noises or busy places.

• Staying alone – Most snakes live alone, not in groups.

Snakes live in many places all over the world—forests, deserts, grasslands, jungles, and even in oceans! Most snakes like warm places because they are cold-blooded, which means they need the sun to stay warm

Snakes eat meat. They eat small animals like:

• Mice

• Frogs

• Birds

• Insects

• Fish

Snakes do not chew their food. They have big, stretchy jaws that let them swallow their food whole.

Snakes do not typically eat humans. While there are a few species of large snakes, like the reticulated python and the anaconda, that are capable of attacking and potentially swallowing large prey, including humans, such incidents are extremely rare. Most snakes, even large ones, prefer smaller animals, such as rodents, birds, and other small mammals.

Attacks on humans generally happen when a snake feels threatened or cornered, rather than for the purpose of eating them. Humans are much too large to be considered typical prey for snakes.

The vast majority of snakes are harmless to humans, and many are actually beneficial because they help control pest populations. So, unless you’re dealing with an exceptionally large species, the risk of a snake eating a human is very low!

🐍 1. It looks scary

• Cobras have a hood that they spread out when they're angry or scared. This makes them look big and dangerous.

• Their eyes and tongue can seem creepy to young kids.

⚠️ 2. They are dangerous

• Cobras are venomous snakes, which means their bite can be very harmful or even deadly.

• Even if kids don't fully understand venom, they hear adults say "don't go near it!"—and that builds fear.

😱 3. Movies and stories

• In cartoons, books, or movies, cobras are often shown as villains or monsters, which makes them seem even scarier to kids.

🚫 4. They are not common pets

• Kids are usually not used to seeing snakes, so when they see one, especially a cobra, it feels unfamiliar and strange—which can lead to fear.

If you're helping a Primary 2 child learn about cobras, you could focus on interesting facts instead of scary ones—like how they dance to music (sort of!), or how their hood helps protect them. That makes learning fun, not frightening!

No, a cobra does not have a big head.
But when it feels scared or wants to protect itself, it spreads out its neck to look bigger. This is called a hood. The hood makes its head look wide and scary to other animals.

No, a cobra cannot sting people. Cobras do not have stingers like bees or wasps.
Instead, they can bite and use their sharp fangs to put poison (venom) into the body. This is how they protect themselves or catch food.

So, cobras bite, not sting.

• Frogs 🐸

• Birds 🐦

• Rats 🐭

• Other snakes 🐍

Cobras use their poison (venom) to catch their food.

you're referring to the animal, snakes are believed to have evolved from lizards around 100 million years ago. They are part of the reptile family and are thought to have adapted to their environment, losing their legs over time. The earliest snakes likely lived in tropical or subtropical areas, where they hunted small prey and adapted to different environments.

🧠 Fun Fact: Cobras can stand up and spread their hood when they feel scared — it's their way of saying, "Stay away!" 🐍

Would you like a picture or a short story to go with it?

A cobra has over 200 bones in its body! Most of these bones are ribs and backbones (called vertebrae).

Cobras don’t have arms or legs, but they have long, bendy bodies made of many small bones that help them move and slither!

Yes, a cobra can move quickly, but not as fast as some other snakes. Cobras usually move at a speed of about 5 to 10 kilometers per hour. That’s about as fast as a person walking quickly.

For Primary 2 students, here’s a simple explanation:

Can a cobra move quickly?

Yes, a cobra can move quite fast for a snake. It can slither quickly on the ground if it feels scared or wants to catch something. But it’s not faster than a running person.

🐍 Where Does a Cobra Come From?

A cobra is a kind of snake. Cobras live in the wild — mostly in Africa and Asia.

Cobras do not come from eggs in the mother's tummy like humans. Instead:

1. 🥚 The mother cobra lays eggs.

2. ☀️ The eggs stay warm in a safe place.

3. 🐣 After a few weeks, baby cobras hatch from the eggs!

That’s how cobras are born — from eggs, just like birds and some other reptiles.

No, king cobras (Ophiophagus hannah) cannot spit venom.

While they are highly venomous and can deliver a deadly bite, they do not have the anatomical adaptations required for spitting venom like some other cobras do. Spitting cobras have specialized fangs that allow them to eject venom toward the eyes of a threat as a defense mechanism, often from several feet away.

In contrast, king cobras rely on biting and injecting venom to subdue their prey, which mainly consists of other snakes. They are more known for their size (up to 18 feet, the longest venomous snake) and their distinctive hooding and growling hiss when threatened.

• Most snakes feed primarily on small rodents: mice, rats, shrews, squirrels. Larger constrictors (like boas, pythons) can take down rabbits, monkeys, even small deer or antelope.

2. Birds & Eggs

• Tree-dwelling and nest-raiding species (rat snakes, pythons) often eat eggs and nestlings. The African egg‑eating snake (Dasypeltis) specializes entirely on bird eggs, swallowing them whole and cracking them with vertebral spikes.

3. Reptiles & Other Snakes

• Some snakes hunt other reptiles. For example, king cobras, king snakes, indigo snakes, and other specialists prey on venomous snakes, lizards, and even cannibalize smaller conspecifics.

4. Amphibians

• Frogs, toads, salamanders are taken frequently by aquatic or marsh-dwelling snakes like water snakes and garter snakes. Many young or small snakes rely heavily on these as their staple.

5. Fish & Aquatic Prey

• Aquatic-adapted species (e.g., water snakes, sea kraits) will eat fish, tadpoles, and even small crustaceans.

6. Invertebrates & Miscellany

• Juvenile snakes often begin life by eating insects, slugs, worms, or snails. Certain snail‑eating snakes even have more teeth on one side of the mouth to extract snails from shells.

• Foxes. Foxes don't have a particular preference for what they eat, although they tend to avoid specific snakes when hunting. ...

• Bobcat. One of the most fearless predators in nature are bobcats. ...

• Wolverine. ...

• Mongoose. ...

• Honey Badger. ...

• Hedgehog.
