Interesting facts about cobra’s in Japan
Japan is home to a number of venomous snakes, but fortunately the cobra isn’t one of them as the cobra is not found in the country. You will be able to see them in snake parks but not in the wild. The same cannot be said for Southeast Asia because the king cobra can be found in the wild there.
