Watch video: IFS officer shares scary video of standing king cobra

Most of us will scream to the top of our lungs if we ever spot a king cobra near us. Now, imagine how scary it would be if you see this creature standing and giving you a death stare. One such video has been shared by Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer, Susanta Nanda, on Twitter where a king cobra can be seen literally standing straight. Nanda informed in the caption, “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.” Have a look at this video here:
