Cobra vs Toad | Planet Earth III | BBC Earth

This village in Western Bengal, India, has some remarkable residents. The Monocled Cobra, with enough venom to kill 10 people in a single bite, lives here peacefully alongside humans. However, that doesn't mean it won't hunt it's prey ruthlessly, and there's nowhere for this toad to hide...

This is an astounding capture. Felt like the animals were acting as trained for the shoot.🤯

"Cobra vs Toad" is more engaging and more thrilling than the latest Marvel superhero movie. 😺

[jametalboy]

BBC EARTH III, more intense, more dramatic, more cinematic and very well documented and researched, when toad stopped and the snake didn't know where it is, nice, as always, well narrated by sir David

World class cinematography and interesting lives of the villagers

This sequence is on spar with the iguanas and snake chase. Absolutely fantastic footage.

Cobra: “Pssss…come back here!”
Toad: “I toad you no!”

The Cobra is like just mind your business and I'll mind mine lol, 😅.
But snakes creeping into people's neighbourhood and houses and the people not getting alarmed is remarkable.

One of the finest examples of coexistence and even the cobra has not bitten the cattle and goat which game in it's path focusing on its prey

[bikeboy]

The villager have a remarkable view of life in all its forms. Respect.

"Here are those people with their cameras again - must be a cobra hunting a toad again."

The last part was a surprise to me. Way to go humans!

[JimmyBlether]

God I love how cute cobras look.
Shows that this one has lived around humans for quite a while as it knows they're not gonna harm it as it's not zooming away or hooding up in defence every time someone is near it.

[akganimate]

The community protecting the snake, is just an amazing thing.

[samuelkamochu]

We live worlds apart with each other on the same planet. I can't believe that humans would share a space with a snake and especially a cobra.

The video was fascinating, showcasing the delicate balance between wildlife and humanity. Thank you to the editors for capturing such compelling and thought-provoking content.🥰

Great work as usual.

"According to a 2020 study, an average of nearly 58, 000 Indian citizens die each year due to snakebites. But experts say that actual numbers are likely higher because of unreported cases.

Sir Attenborough is still giving us his scintillating documentaries. A rare gem he is.

[justinsmith]

I misread that as Cobra vs Todd and I thought to myself "YOU GOT THIS TODD"

[deepakkatare]

this video is the best testament of human coexistence with wildlife .
