Nature is amazing in many ways but it can also be terrifying at the same time. And this video of a king cobra shared by Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Susanta Nanda proves it.

“A king cobra can literally ‘stand up’ and look a full-grown individual in the eye. When exposed, they can lift up to a third of their body off the ground.” The IFS officer wrote while sharing a chilling video of the King Cobra. The video shows the snake standing upright on a muddy platform with its head up.
