(C) broadening the flesh behind its head the way a cobra does and feigning repeated strikes, but it has no
dangerous fangs and no venom, and
(D) broadening the flesh behind its head the way a cobra does and feigns repeated strikes, but with no
dangerous fangs and no venom, and
(E) broadening the flesh behind its head the way a cobra does, feigning repeated strikes, but with no
dangerous fangs and no venom, and
