Do you know the Jungle Book story of Rikki-Tikki-Tavi? It tells the story of a brave young mongoose who is adopted into a family in India and protects them against venomous cobra snakes.
Commuters in India did not know they would be witnessing a real-life version of the story when they stopped to film a king cobra resting on the asphalt in the middle of the road.
King Cobras are an endangered species and are protected in India. Anyone caught killing the snake could be imprisoned for up to six years! But nature still has its predators and prey, and this snake’s natural enemy chose this moment to attack. The mongoose and cobra battle it out right in the middle of the road! Watch to see how the epic fight ends!
