A recent video shared on social media shows a deadly king cobra, known for its potent venom, hiding inside the headlight casing of a passenger car. The sight of the serpent caused viewers to gasp in horror.
In the video, a man can be seen attempting to control the snake with a stick. However, the cobra reacts aggressively, continuously jerking its head, baring its fangs, and hissing.
Many online users speculate that the snake is a king cobra, one of the most venomous species known to man. If not treated promptly, a king cobra bite can be fatal. The exact location of the incident in Vietnam is unclear. Nonetheless, this incident highlights the importance of regular vehicle inspections.
Drivers should always be aware of unusual sounds or other issues with their vehicles and inspect them carefully.
Furthermore, when stopping overnight, it’s important to avoid areas with dense vegetation to prevent the intrusion of animals such as snakes and rodents into the car.
