The 'King' of Snakes !!
#KingCobra #WorldSnakeDay
Endemic to India and SE Asia.
Only snake that builds a nest of dry litter to lay eggs.
Feeds on other snakes and hence scientifically named as 'Ophiophagus' meaning 'snake-eating' in Greek.

Viral snake charmer !
#TikTok is not good for #wildlife too. Clear violation of the law is happening here. @WCCBHQ is alerted and I hope he will get some more attention from the right people.
