🐍Indian cobra
Indisk kobra (Naja naja) (Tamil: நாக ராஜா) (populært kaldet brilleslange) er en giftig slange, der hører til slægten Naja, der er en del af familien giftsnoge. Som navnet antyder, lever den indiske kobra i det indiske subkontinent og betragtes som den mest almindelige af alle kobraslanger. Den har fået tilnavnet "Brilleslange" efter det brilleformede mønster den har i nakken. Den indiske kobra spytter ikke gift, men udgør dog en betydelig risiko i dens hjemlande. Den er truet i naturen og er fredet i Indien.
