Snake expert explains why a rinkhals is not a cobra even though it has the cape look

While in the video, you can see the snake flattening out, causing a hood-like look around its head like cobras do - it is not a cobra.

Briefly News spoke to Ralph Riggens from Ultimate Exotics to find out the difference and why this snake doesn't belong to the cobra family despite it looking very much like it should.

"A Rinkhals is not a true cobra, they belong in their own genus - they do however mimic the appearance of a cobra by spreading a hood and standing upright to fend off any threats. Another difference would be that cobras lay eggs, rinkhals are viviparous (live barers). They are venomous and produce a cytotoxic venom.
"Something interesting is that they sham death when they really feel like they are losing a fight, they put on quite a show."

The lady screaming "python" took the edge off the snake clip. While most people focused on her exaggeration, a few still couldn't see past the freaky snake.
