'''Cling Cobras''' are cobra-like enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', found in the [[Forest (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Forest]] world. They cling on to grassy areas, waiting to slither into [[Donkey Kong|Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]]. This makes it harder for the [[Kong]]s to advance. They may even make the two Kongs lose their balance, causing them to fall down from the grassy area they are holding onto. Their entire body appears to be yellow except for their brown eyes, and they possess large, sharp teeth in their mouth.
