Just for the sake of information, I saw this when it was on Liveleak a while ago: the reason the cobra doesn't kill the baby (and why the baby isn't in real danger) is because the cobra's been defanged. It's being sold at a market for some reason.

Does anyone know if cobras can kill by constriction? It doesn't look like it can, but it does look like it tries to.

I seriously doubt a cobra can kill by constriction.

No if they contain lethal amounts of venom like the cobra they don't/can't rely on constriction to kill their prey.

Dig how the cobra breaks the fourth wall to mug for the camera, as if to say, "You have got to be shitting me."

Why doesn't the Cobra strike?

[–]WonderedFidelity 0 points1 point ago

It is striking as you can see at the end of the gif but it has been defanged, refer to this comment for an explanation.

They de-fang a lot of those cobras, so the child was in no danger I'm sure

The cobra freaked out at the end. I wonder if it was just scared or it was mad.

Does anyone think this is probably a really bad experience to expose your children to for the sake of tradition? I can see it now.. "Oh look a cobra! No no it's cool brah, watch this..."

May I ask WHO THE FUCK IS FILMING / ALLOWING THIS?!?

It's a defanged cobra. It's safer than letting toddlers playing with dogs and cats.

Have you ever made snake soup?, That's what happens next, except you substitute the snake in the recipe for the baby.
