Thirsty King Cobra Sips From Water Bottle Amid Debilitating Droughts

I like these kinds of stories because it shows that animals that we perceive as evil or not really. These king cobras and other similar cobras are feared in India.

Here’s something you don’t see every day. Video captured a massive king cobra appearing to drink out of a man’s water bottle amid extreme droughts across southern India.
