In a recently released video that has since gone viral, a massive King Cobra slithers into a populated village in search of water. A man in khakis can be seen pouring some of his own bottled water into the serpent’s mouth, which the creature peacefully accepts.
The man in the video, the Deputy Range Forest Officer of the Karwar forest range named CN Naykka, has refuted claims that the cobra was dying of thirst because of the area being affected by drought. According to the News, CN says that the incident is reportedly a very common occurrence whenever temperatures run high.
