What does KRAIT mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A highly venomous snake found in southern and southeastern Asia, related to the cobra and often marked with narrow bands of color.
A krait hunts mostly at night, when it is far more likely to bite, and its venom attacks the nervous system, making a krait bite dangerous even though the snake itself is often shy and reluctant to strike during the day. Several species carry the name, including the banded krait and the common krait, distinguished mainly by the pattern and color of their bands. Because krait venom can cause serious harm with very little pain at the site of the bite, victims sometimes fail to realize the danger until symptoms spread.
