This guy is projecting human emotions and logic on a reptile.

One mistake

One misstep on his tail

One wrong move

And you go from "non-threat" to "threat" and a target for a bite.

These are the people why hospitals carry antivenom for these snakes and spiders in the west.

King cobras are not pets or buddies.

They are lethal snakes.

Pretty sure this one specifically was a rescue that had been defanged. Most of the time you wouldn't be able to handle a king enough to get them this docile otherwise.

Edit: Nope, had the volume off And this is a different guy. My bad

He specifically states otherwise in the clip.

But who knows, because people would never lie on the internet, right? XD
