Its growl is much lower than most snakes' hisses, with a dominant frequency near 600 Hz, which is closer to a human voice.1

It is dominant over all other snakes except large pythons.1

It can swallow prey much larger than its head because of its flexible jaws.1

It can go many months without another meal after a large meal because its metabolism is slow.1

It is considered the national reptile of India and has an important place in the mythology and folk traditions of India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Myanmar.1

Its common name 'hamadryad' is still used in older books.1
