The algorithm is suddenly recommending me all these "snake drinking water" videos. I never thought about how mesmerizing it is to see a danger noodle drink water.

Yesterday I watched a guy give water to a rattlesnake in the desert, which gladly accepted it. Who would have thought...?

[AlyoshaLopill]

He's saying" Pelo beta " to the snake which means drink up honey 😂

[TheAmaranth]

That's a frickin king Cobra.
I think they are speaking language from Andhra of India, idk.

Edit: Thanks for pointing out its Kannada.

"SCHLORP SCHLORP SCHLORP..." said the snake, calmly.

[Auroral_Anomaly]

Snake: wow this water tastes like plastic waste, but it’s better than no water.

Cobras are considered devine in this part of India. There are many volunteers who rescue them / release back in the wild.

[RageBreakps]

Allow me to correct it "The village was rescuered from 12 foot cobra"

[harrychandi]

This not a cobra but a king cobra entirely different species

You are literally risking your life to be a caring human being. If we have any chance of long term survival, it's this sort of thinking. Just because it can be as lethally dangerous as humans means nothing. Good for you!

What's so surprising to the world?!
India has always been tolerant and kind towards every other species not just humans!

It's in our culture and ancient teachings of our ancestors!
