Elapid snakes are a family of venomous snakes known for their fixed front fangs and potent venom. This family includes well-known species such as cobras, mambas, and coral snakes. Elapids are found in various habitats around the world, primarily in tropical and subtropical regions. These snakes are characterized by their slender bodies and quick movements. They primarily feed on small mammals, birds, and other reptiles. Elapids use their venom to immobilize prey, which they then swallow whole. Their venom can be dangerous to humans, making caution essential when encountering these snakes in the wild.
