They will live in places such as holes dug by other animals, termite mounds or between rocks. Occasionally they will even break into human living environments and hide in order to hunt various waterfowl. Like ordinary cobras, when the Egyptian cobra is hunting or feels threatened, it can escape several meters away in an instant, or it can raise its front body and spread the skin folds on both sides of its head and neck to intimidate its opponent; but when When they encounter an opponent who is stronger than themselves and feel invincible, they will feign death.
