One of the deadliest and most terrifying creatures on the planet is the snake. Yet, they are frequently interesting creatures due to their extraordinary and special skills. Internet fans were captivated when Indian Forest Service employee Susanta Nanda recently shared a frightening video of a King Cobra. Susanta Nanda is widely recognized for posting exciting wildlife information.
“The king cobra can literally “stand up” and look at a full-grown person in the eye. When confronted, they can lift up to a third of its body off the ground,” according to the post caption. A big King cobra with its head lifted can be seen in the video peering over a muddy platform in an upright stance.

My mom had an experience with king cobra when it was found lying peacefully on top of a steel basket in our wrk area in the kitchen..The snake then decided washing machine was a good place to hide…Fire dept came to rescue and my dad went with them to make sure it was left alive

Almost all snakes can standup to one third of their length, since kings can reach lengths of 15-18ft their 1/3rd is about 5-6 ft and hence they can look into a human eye

And that would be the death of me …. Right there ! Did encounter one as a child ! Ran away thinking it was a rope that my foot touched! Someone went to see if I'd imagined it all… Only to find a hooded cobra there in full glory !

It is sacrilege to keep this beautiful animal in a zoo. Saw once and never go to zoos any longer.

The world’s most poisonous snake, the king cobra, is also the longest snake. A mature king cobra may grow to a length of 10 to 12 feet and weigh up to 20 pounds (9 kg). They can actually “stand up” and look a mature adult in the eye, claims National Geographic. They can kill twenty people with the neurotoxic they can release in a single bite.
