Cobra regurgitates another cobra after rescue in India

Basanti Bhoi was shocked to see a big cobra swallowing a smaller snake at her home in Naranagada village near Khordha in eastern India on April 16. br br The snake, after finishing its meal, entered a burrow inside her compound and vanished.br br She made a call to Snake Helpline, which sent a volunteer, Susant Behera, to help her. br br After he dug the burrow, a four-feet long Indian spectacled cobra came out with a hiss, and tried to flee. br br He managed to catch the tail of the cobra and it began to regurgitate its meal.br br As the stunned villagers watched, a three-feet long long cobra came out its mouth.br br Susant captured the live snake and released it in its natural habitat later. br br Subhendu Mallik, founder of Snake Helpline said: "CannibalIsm is a common behaviour in cobras.”br br “When snakes feel threatened they regurgitate their prey and try to make a quick getaway,” he added.
