Elapidae
The
Elapidae family of venomous snakes includes the
cobrass, mambas, sea snakes and coral snakes. The
Elapids have hollow fangs located at the front of the mouth, but these fangs cannot be erected like those of the true vipers belonging to the
Viperidae family. Instead,
Elapids must actually bite their prey instead of stabbing at it like a true viper.
