King cobras are actually called kings partly because of their size, but also because their diet consists mainly of other snakes.

Post is correct - they're not true cobras, though, and oddly enough, despite their size, their venom is technically not as lethal as your average cobra. It can still kill an elephant, though, so probably you don't want to get bit by one anyway
.
Side note: the females in most snake species are larger than the males
