Caught on Camera: Deadly Cobra climbs on to woman’s back

In a scary video, shared by Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Susanta Nanda, shows a deadly Cobra stretched over the back of a woman who is lying on a cot in her house in a village in South India.

The woman stays calm and does not move at all which saves her from being bitten by the snake. At the same time she is scared and appears to be chanting a prayer.

The snake is reported to have slithered away after a couple of minutes leaving her unharmed.

According to wildlife experts she did the right thing by not moving as this would probably have provoked the snake to strike.

“When this happens, what would be your reaction??” Mr Nanda wrote in the caption while sharing the bizarre clip.
