The king cobra regulates the flow of venom during an attack by closing the ducts of the venom glands through muscle contractions. The amount of consumed poison depends on the size of the victim and usually exceeds the lethal dose by almost an order of magnitude . Most often, trying to scare away a person, the snake makes “blank” bites, without injecting poison at all. Apparently, this is due to the fact that the cobra needs poison primarily for hunting, and accidental or unnecessary losses are undesirable.

King cobras sometimes live near humans. The reason is that in Asia, large-scale agricultural production has led to a significant reduction in the tropical forests in which king cobras live; at the same time, the crops attract rodents, and the rodents attract comparatively small snakes, which in turn make up the diet of the king cobra.

When one king cobra meets another, it tries to touch the top of its head to show its dominant position, and the snake, which it has touched, immediately ducks down and crawls away .
