Snakes are one of the most feared creatures on the planet. Nevertheless, their unique and wonderful abilities often make them fascinating creatures. Even though their bite can be fatal, some people are not afraid of reptiles. Now a video proving the same thing is going viral on social media. The clip shows a small child fearlessly handling a giant king cobra, one of the world’s most venomous snakes.
The video, which is both surprising and scary at the same time, was shared on Twitter by user Subhash Chandra NS. It depicts a child unafraid of snakes holding onto the cobra’s tail.
The caption of the post read, “#SixYearOLdVirajPrashanth from #SirsiInUttaraKannada handling #KingCobra-#TheLargestVenomousSnake.”

“Very dangerous….it is one of the fastest and could turn and bite him in a second….who is here to save the snake with him???” A user wrote. Another commented, “King Cobra is probably 3 times 6 years older than Viraj’s height.”
The third said, ‘The most stupid thing… Whoever allowed this should be jailed.’ “Some kind of joke? Who trained her to do this? Is she mature enough to handle this?” questioned the other.
Meanwhile, the king cobra is one of the most venomous snakes and one of the longest venomous reptiles. An adult king cobra can be 10 to 12 feet in length and weigh up to 20 pounds (9 kg). According to National Geographic, they can literally “stand up” and look into the eyes of a full grown person. The amount of neurotoxin they can deliver at one go is enough to kill 20 people.
