The king cobra can literally "stand up" and look at a full-grown person in the eye. When confronted, they can lift up to a third of its body off the ground. pic.twitter.com/g93Iw2WzRo

"Yes, myself and my dad had seen such a thing years ago in the village, jitters down the spine, both of us were shivering and ran back home," another wrote.
"My mom had an experience with a king cobra when it was found lying peacefully on top of a steel basket in our work area in the kitchen. The snake then decided the washing machine was a good place to hide...The fire department came to rescue and my dad went with them to make sure it was left alive," added a third. According to the national geography, the king cobra is one of the most venomous snakes on the planet. The reptile can lift a third of its body off the ground and can still move forward.
