Due to the consistent human intervention in animal eco-system, sightings of dangerous animals are getting more common by the day. From a group of monkeys getting in a brawl, to an elephant running over a man due to ruckus, incidents such as these are less rare than one would imagine. Recently, a new video caught the fancy of netizens, in which a King Cobra displays why it’s the most feared of reptiles.

The King Cobra is one of the most unique members of the snake family. Known for its majestic hood, the King Cobra is one of the most venomous snakes on Earth. They are also unique for one special reason – for “standing up” to its attacker.

Yes, you heard it right. The King Cobra, can stand up and if long enough, can look a person right in their eye. The venomous species of snake can do this by being able to lift over a third of its body off the ground and still being able to march forward in attack.
