| "These fearsome serpents are famed for two reasons: their poison is possibly the deadliest of all, and is thus highly prized by assassins; and the snakes themselves often starve to death because small game is difficult to pierce with such large fangs and large game is difficult for the cobra to catch and swallow. I once said that Nature amuses itself at Life's expense, and the sabertooth cobra is a living example of that sense of humor."
